At the time, Morrissey was working on two projects with Warners (the Smiths boxet/Sound of the Smiths and the Live at the Hollywood Bowl DVD), but fell out with them. Some think this was because Warners had received a court order telling them to give any money Morrissey made to Mike Joyce, and they were planning not to ignore it. Morrissey tried to veto the Smiths releases but was unable. However, work on further releases was halted. By the time the dust had settled, things had moved on to the idea of Complete, which is why the second singles boxset never happened.
