The Smiths

The World Won't Listen

£34.99

Released: 26th March 2012. The second of three compilation albums released by The Smiths in the 1980s after 'Hatful of Hollow'. The album was conceived as a collection of the singles and their B-sides from 1985 to 1987. Additionally, the scrapped single 'You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby' (which was passed over for 'Shoplifters of the World Unite') and the near-single 'There Is a Light That Never Goes Out' (a single candidate from 'The Queen Is Dead' that was passed over in favour of 'Bigmouth Strikes Again') were included.
