The album includes 7 UK hit singles, plus 6 tracks only recently available.

"You need courage to put your life into song … and in Bona Drag … there is my life."

The worst thing is that nobody seems to get what Paint A Vulgar Picture is actually about and that the lyrics don't apply in these cases...

I can't believe people made fun of all the quoting of Smiths lyrics in the Shoplifters movie when it's constantly done by Smiths fans here there and everywhere. Oops, made a Beatles reference by accident!

I picked a copy up in Toronto today. No OBI, number or even a hype sticker to indicate it's on green vinyl. Guy at the shop says it's being issued in Canada and Australia without the OBI.

I had the Queen is Dead 12” months before everyone else because some lovely man from Hungary was selling them. I had two, thought I was the big man. A few months later, everyone has one. Bastard.
