WOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Let's hear it for iTunes for making this information so easy to obtain.
Length of Album
Using the "single" versions of the tracks the album comes to 45:31 without "Thats How People Grow Up" and "All You Need is Me" Right there you have a waste of an album as unless those two songs clock in at about 17 minutes each there is plenty of room for more tracks.
Where Else Can I Get These Songs?
2 Songs are unreleased so far
1 Song comes from Live at Earl's Court
4 Songs come from You are the Quarry
3 Songs are available from Bona Drag
4 Songs come from Ringleader of the Tormenters
1 Song comes from Vauxhall and I
Previous albums released on Decca
0 (This means that the greatest hits album is not something being done to fulfill a contract or anything)
How Does This Compare to Other Greatest Hits / Compilations?
World of Morrissey - Running Time of 54:55
My Early Burglary Years - Running Time of 58:00
Best of Morrissey - Running Time of 1:19:13 (Estimation as I do not have the album)
Suedehead: The Best of Morrissey - Running Time of 1:10:05 (Estimation as I do not have the album)
2008 Greatest Hits: 55:00 (if AYNIM and THPGU are 5 minutes each)
How Many Songs Does Morrissey Put on His Greatest Hits Albums?
World of Morrissey - 14
My Early Burglary Years - 16
2008 Greatest Hits - 15
Suedehead: The Best of Morrissey - 19
The Best of Morrissey - 21
My Rant
I am going to repeat this ONLY because my "Dave Matthews Band - Live in Piedmont Park" DVD and CD arrived today. By preordering I got a bonus CD of additional live material previously unreleased. That was my incentive for pre-ordering. On top of top of that I got a few more songs for buying the DVD at the same time.
When Dave put out a greatest hits he had a fan poll decide what would be on Disc 1 as far as studio cuts and then a fan poll to decide what live tracks would be available for disc 2. Basically he said - what were your favorite concert experiences because we will release them. Somehow the fans were very happy with DMB's first greatest hits compilation. The incentive for preordering was the 30 minute + jam version of song #41.
This is not about Dave Matthews. This is about strategic marketing so your fans feel as if they are getting something that is worth getting. DMB did that. Is Morrissey?
How many of us are going to buy this album because you have everything else so you may as well get this too? I for one do not feel as if I am getting anything special from this album that I will not be able to get from the THPGU single. Just my two cents.
