Cast your mind back to the time when The Sound Of The Smiths was mooted. There was a US only release named "Hang The DJ - The Very Best Of The Smiths". Well, not wanting to miss out, I ordered it from amazon.com. Yesterday this arrived...
"Dear Customer,
We wanted to give you an update on the status of your order #XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX.
We are sorry to inform you that we have been unable to obtain the
following item:
The Smiths (Artist) "Hang the DJ: The Very Best of the Smiths
[Import]" [Audio CD]
We apologise for the length of time it has taken us to reach this
conclusion. Until recently, we had still hoped to obtain this item for
you.
This item has now been cancelled from your order and we can confirm that
you have not been charged for it.
Please accept our apologies for any disappointment or inconvenience
caused."
So - my question is this - was there ever going to be a release with this title, or was it just a mooted US title until Moz/Marr/Someone Else got involved and said the US release should just be The Sound Of The Smiths? Or...does anyone have a copy of the release with the "Hang The DJ" title?
