I'll definitely have to find myself a copy - particularly since the American release of "Let Me Kiss You" has been delayed until January.

someone from attack should've taken EMI's cue and gave this release the "slim box" treatment. but as long as this contains new content and a few dvd extras, i think everyone can live with it.

but!

the birthday show would be a nice offering as well as the VH1 version of "First of the Gang..." a slim booklet would be nice too.

I'm not holding my breath though. I'm predicting the original LP along with a few b-sides.

sigh.

I'd probably buy it if it had a new sleeve and then I would quickly put the original to the back of the pack. The worst sleeve of all time, in fact every quarry sleeve is hideous with the acception of "Let me kiss you" and only just.

Not that special really is it? They could have at least put a new picture on it- perhaps one of Morrisey wallowing in a money-filled bath.

If you don't like it, DON'T FUCKING BUY IT. Simple isn't it?

I find the cover to be much more polished and distinguished. I will be there to purchase it! "reissue repackage..." :) Looks stunning. Will there be added material on this? ( probably). But I dont give a care, because it's Mozzer, and well, you know. :)

What's everyone complaining about? So Morrissey is making a little money? So what? The last seven years the money hasn't exactly been rolling in.

Morrissey has expenses too, you know!

're-issue ! re-packaged ! re-packaged !
re-evaluate the songs
double-pack with a photograph
extra track (and a tacky badge)...'

But of course, it will still be on my Xmas list.

Has anyone seen a confirmed track listing for disc 2? CD-WOW have a different track listing for the 2nd disc. They could be working from out of date info, or there could be a different international release from the UK version?

The track listing from HMV also hints at the title of a new DVD - Who Put the M in Manchester...

That silver background looks terrible.

Still love that cover shot. Mainly because he looks so young in it, compared to other recent photos.

this cover is on hit! He looks like the true pimp that he is!

I love it! The silver background contrasts nicely with Moz's maroon pinstripe suit.

Heh, we all knew someone would drag that one out. I think, if nothing else, it's a relief he pointedly admits he's quite greedy.

Just for the record, Morrissey wants my money and I want to give it to him. A fool and his money and lucky enough to get together in the first place.

Congratulations.. you're the 50,000th person to make that "observation".

*yawn*
