Additional information:
This is a compilation of Morrissey's favourite tracks, selected by the man himself, similar to the "Under The Influence" compilation from 2003. The cd was given away with the 19 June 2004 issue of the NME in the UK.

Morrissey's "The Never Played Symphonies" can also be found on the "Irish Blood, English Heart" single and the deluxe edition of the "You Are The Quarry" album.

The Killers' track is labelled as the album version but it is actually slightly different.

 

Artwork information:
The creases and bent corners and the apparent edge of a 7" record in the scan displayed here are part of the artwork. The inlay and back show the front and back of a typical freebie 7" as they were found bundled with the NME (or any other magazine) in the 1970s or 1980s. The cd label itself looks like a 7" record.
