This is the claim in Morrissey's new sleeve notes which have been reproduced (in full) in the new issue of Word.
The Southpaw notes are quite interesting but for Maladjusted he just bangs on and on (and on) about the court case, perhaps not surprisingly.
Alongside Morrissey's sleevenotes, Word does its own write up of the re-releases which is pretty glowing.
Then, oddly, in the reviews section there's a formal assessment of the albums which is pretty dismissive (describing the three 'new' songs on Southpaw as underwhelming, or words to that effect).
Apologies if old news (and, mods, please merge).
