Peter, I can't find the thread right now, but Stephane shared that information - with full bonus track listings - on the General Discussion forum circa 2008-9 - I know because I wrote a post in the same thread that was my best ear-to-the-ground attempt at compiling an unreleased solo track list. The reissue program was to encompass Viva Hate through Southpaw Grammar - all were to be single disc reissues with the exception of Southpaw, wherein disc two would have been the complete Miraval sessions. I recall that Rhino instigated the effort, but it was timed for roughly 2001-2002, which makes sense given that they put together their Best Of around the same time. The reference discs were compiled (and, obviously, leaked to some) but Morrissey was more interested at the time in finding a new contract and didn't give the go-ahead, such as was apparently needed.
Frankly, I've always regarded Stephane highly and think he is one of the most credible sources of Morrissey information to be found online. This gimmick seems out of character - if it's intended as a wind-up, there was an enormous amount of work that affects, relatively, quite few. I'm genuinely perplexed.
