Mike Joyce should be the cover star.

You are not serious... there is yet another Smiths compilation coming out???
The terms 'greatest hits' and 'best of' are not legally defined!
They're just used for marketing purposes. They can put whatever they want on there.
There hasn't been a new Smiths compilation since the huge increase in interest in all things Morrissey related in 2004, so it seems like it probably is about time for a new compilation, but it's obviously not for the likes of us...

Agreed.
And please, please let Paint A Vulgar Picture be on it. Purely for the irony, if nothing else.

I realize this isn't what you're asking here, but if I were introducing someone to The Smiths I would buy them "The Queen Is Dead" (preferably the vinyl album, if they had a turntable). Not only is it a great album to start with-- who wouldn't rush out to buy all the others after hearing those ten tracks?-- but it's a better introduction to the band because Morrissey's artwork is such a key part of the band's mystique/aura/image/"it" factor/whatever you want to call it. For the first five or six listens of "The Queen Is Dead", a new fan ought to be staring at the photos of Alain Delon wondering what the hell the connection is. Might spark even more interest, as it did with me.
Or not. I dunno.
I don't have a track listing because like others here I am speechless and horrified that they're releasing another GH compilation. The next and last Smiths release should be the box set, packed with rare versions and outtakes. Short of that it's flogging a dead horse.
That's the only reason I'll be buying it

Like the US version of How Soon Is Now? .... but in reverse!
Stick the other 3 on the back...would anyone notice?

Indeed. . . I refuse to buy these kind of compilation albums even if Moz takes a cut, but maybe it'll bring history to some new fans or fans-to-be if well- marketed.
