Morrissey in a bathtub...
While I'm sure it's not exactly meant to, I feel like the "Very Best" sleeve won't really entice potential new fans. 
Idk, to me there is just something awkward about looking dead on at a naked guy's hairy legs and feet. A good shot, perhaps, but not really an "iconic" or "definitive" image, I feel. Ah well. Won't be buying it anyway, so I'm not all that concerned

But it is kind of definitive, no? With the tongue out and the clever look and the fact that he's put a picture of his naked self on the sleeve. I believe it'd attract much more attention from someone who sees it in a record store shelf than any if the earlier greatest hits albums which didn't really stand out in any way. (Maybe if they'd put the inner sleeve photo from the 2008 greatest hits on the cover that one would have done even better as well. Or at least it certainly would have gotten a lot more media coverage.)
Well, I guess looking back at the past it might be a LITTLE more definitive than I first realized. Definitive of his PERSONALITY, perhaps. Personally, I liked the shot used for the 2008 Greatest Hits front sleeve -- a previously unseen shot that for me seemed to capture the passion of the music. But I'm not moaning over it -- he can do whatever he pleases -- just my two cents worth

Wot no cherry?
That was what I was going to say. They shouldn't of cropped the cherry placed on the tub. That, to me was one of the best parts of the picture.

My take on the Very Best of cover, I know he's not on RCA but I thought I'd make it look a bit more official an realistic, plus I could get a good Major Minor logo. Alright bitches?

He looks like a corpse in the bathtub one, the police have just busted his door down and were confronted with THAT floating in the bathtub, GEE WHIZ.

I quite like both of those photos. I can't see there being much controversy with the GG sleeve for a variety of reasons: even with the EDL around, it's still safer ground than it was in 1992, plus, sad to say, he could put a picture of him strangling a kitten on the front, no-one's going to be paying that much attention.
I think Morrissey & EMI know the new best of isn't going to sell very well so why not have some fun with the artwork?

Oh my god, this is so awesome. I love Moz doing it Chris Isaac style.

Maybe it's a reference to his soul. "Soles" of his feet.
