Additional information:
This track from the most recent album "The Queen Is Dead" was selected by Virgin in France to be released as a single instead of the non-album "Shoplifters Of The World Unite". Although it was at some point considered as a potential single in England, the song was never released anywhere else than France at the time.

In 1992 Warner picked "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" to be released as a single from the "Best...II" album. In 2005, Morrissey released a live version of "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" as a single from the "Live At Earls Court" live album.
