Yes, I am spleen
They have obviously done their homework (probably even looked at this site to see what sort of thing they would have to include to make hardcore Smiths fans buy it). Disc one alone, I don't thing many existing fans would have bought it but I probably will now.

There is a full page press advertisement on the back side of the new issue of 'Mojo', out today. Apologies for not having access to a scanner, so until someone *cough*uncleskinny*cough* does I'll just provide a quick visual description.
The image is a band shot, around 1984 I'd say, possibly backstage at TOTP for 'What Difference Does it Make?' judging by the clothing and Johnnys' guitar. left to right Rourke, Moz (speccy), J****, Marr. J**** is dead center of the image looking straight into the camera with a fairly murderous glower, which may or may not be telling. The image has a green wash, a~la 'The Queen Is Dead'. 'The Very Best of the Smiths' is in hot pink, "Hang the DJ" is in peach. Single CD ( "all their greatest hits"!) is described as Remastered, and the Deluxe 2 CD version of live versions and rarities mentions 'Jeane', 'Stretch Out and Wait', and 'What's The World?' live, amongst others. No mention of a release date.
No clue as to whether or not this will be the cover image. If so, very poor.
Also listed as being released via Rhino Records UK. Jobriath and The Smiths, together at last!

If the remastering(which Im assuming they did to this) is good, then yes, I will have no problem buying this.
Is this the US release date, or the Uk? anyone have the US release date?

If I put a 'remastered' CD on my not very expensive CD player and then the original CD on, be honest, is there really any difference in the quality of product?
I hung on to my vinyl for years as I was not conned into believing there was any difference between vinyl and CD. Maybe if you have a £300 stereo maybe.
Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

Usually, the remastered version is just louder. Far too often, it's too loud and the high frequencies are being clipped. I'd never buy a CD just because it had been remastered, the old CDs are usually better. That's why they put bonus tracks on those remastered CDs.
The only remastered CD that I really found to be better than the original release is The Cure's "Kiss Me" album.
The sound of a CD is much cleaner, there are no crackles and no distortions. And it's always the right speed.
Countless times! Oh, wait ... you were talking about remasters. But yes, I felt cheated by remasters as well.

Even with a "cheap" player, you'll still hear the difference. Whether or not you like the difference is another story.
The word "digitally remastered" has been used by record companies for years now, with the intention of swaying the customer to purchase the re-release because it is somehow "better" than the original copy. In most cases, the exact opposite is true.
Oso is 100% correct. The remastered copy will indeed be much louder than the original copy. I usually find that the bass is too boomy for my liking. The high frequencies can be quite fatiguing as well, especially if you like to listen to your music at loud volumes.
Frankly, the only reissued music I would buy would be releases on the SACD and DVD-Audio formats. These formats should have replaced the standard CD, but with little advertising and the ever-growing popularity of digital media players, the high-fidelity formats never caught on.
Where is JOURNALISTS WHO LIE???
Journalists Who Lie isn't a Smiths song.

Amazon have some information about which versions are used for some of the tracks. "Hand in Glove" seems to be the original single version, "What Difference Does It Make" is the Peel session, and "Barbarism Begins at Home" is the edited single version, as is "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me".

Re: NME did it again
The article doesn't say Morrissey chose the tracks - just that he chose the title.
A lot could have changed since his statement at the start of August - the title of the compilation has certainly changed since then.
The best news of all (if all this is true) is that Johnny supervised the remastering of the album. Perhaps it was Marr's involvement which persuaded Morrissey to get involved with it on some level?
