20 tracks, two from each era ('88, '89-90, '91, '92, '94, '95, '97, '04, '06) plus two new songs. sequenced chronologically, but it actually sounds great asa tracklisting.

"That's How People Grow Up" as the single with "I Want To Wrap My Arms Around Paris" and "One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell" on the b-side.

"All You Need Is Me" to only be included on the compilation as extra incentive to buy it.

and whatever you do, don't call it Greatest Hits.

that would be a terrible idea- it simply wouldnt sell. no longtime fan is going to spend what will hav to be pushing $30 for 2 new songs and 42 others they already hav. no potential new fan is going to spend $30 to try him out either.

it should be a one disc, singles filled affair to try and court new audiances, not an overblown anthology type release that will be rendered out of date as soon as he releases his next album a few months later.

Based on the setlists from this year.
 
that would be a terrible idea- it simply wouldnt sell. no longtime fan is going to spend what will hav to be pushing $30 for 2 new songs and 42 others they already hav. no potential new fan is going to spend $30 to try him out either.

You're right.

and btw, no Let Me Kiss You?

A 'singles filled affair' is surely an awful idea. The biggest mistake of Morrissey's singing career has been his choice of singles. Dagenham Dave, Fatty, Roy Keen, The Youngest, Pregnant etc are obviously some of the worst songs he's ever written.
Moz is right to remove a few of his singles from the tracklisting and bung on some of the brilliant album songs and b-sides that the averaeg music fan will never have heard...
 
You're right.

and btw, no Let Me Kiss You?

no- though ithink LMKY is likely the best song of the four YATQ singles, theres really no doubt which two were the most popular and important and as ionly chose two tracks from each era, LMKY simply cannot make the cut.
