(2000)__NOTOC__"The CD Singles '88-91"' is a boxed set ofMorrissey 's first ten singles as a solo artist, from "Suedehead " (1988) to "Pregnant for the Last Time " (1991).Contents
Although each disc contains the three or four songs from the original
Compact Disc edition, they are housed in a cardboard sleeve (instead of a jewel case) and replicate the 12-inch artwork, with the titles of songs that were exclusive to CD written on afterwards.Several of the A and B-sides on these singles appeared on the compilations "
Bona Drag " (1990) and "My Early Burglary Years " (1998), while others were made available again for the first time since their first release, including "I Know Very Well How I Got My Name", "East West", and the full version of "Will Never Marry".A number of cover versions also appear:
The Jam 's "That's Entertainment"; T.Rex's "Cosmic Dancer"; and a version of "Sweet and Tender Hooligan " by Morrissey's former bandThe Smiths .Packaging
The ten discs are housed in a flip-top box. The cover image is from a photograph by
Anton Corbijn . It first appeared in the CD booklet for Morrissey's debut album "Viva Hate ". [ [http://www.passionsjustlikemine.com/disc/moz-dbox8891.htm Passions Just Like Mine] ]Reactions
