OK, so I had held out on getting these box sets because it seemed rather
extravagent given I already have all the CD singles. But, after
being stumped about what to get people for Xmas, I charged away
and got myself a gift instead. I can't say it is worth a hundred
dollars, but I suppose it makes me feel safer knowing I now
have mulitple copies of the ones which contain rarer tracks,
such as the "Certain People I Know" single.
But I was surprised to find something in box 2 -
'91-'95 - which is new to me. The "Hold on to Your Friends"
single has been updated, and it now includes the non-extended
version of "Moon River." A little late to get radio airtime,
but hey. I guess that's not a big deal,
but it's *something*. And it makes up for my not being
able to brag anymore about having the rare "Certain People I Know"
single. Also, apparently because box 2
contains one less single than box 1 and they needed something
to fill the space, they made the cardboard for the "Hold on to your
Friends" single a fold-open and added a new picture of Morrissey,
shirtless, looking at himself in a mirror, with something
written above his nipple. Not sure what it says. "Homey?"
I'll have to look closer tomorrow.
I like the packaging. Fits more compactly on my rack than the
others (which I can now put away) did.
