Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released alongside a sister volume as a comprehensive retrospective for the Warner Music Group, this compilation spans the iconic Manchester band's entire lifespan. The collection juxtaposes their earliest, guitar-driven jangle pop hits against the polished, deeply melancholic anthems of their final studio sessions. It remains one of the most commercially successful overviews of Johnny Marr and Morrissey's defining partnership.
