Former Smiths singer and guitarist Morrissey and Johnny Marr are set to release a compilation of their old band's rarities in November.

Morrissey came up with the title of the compilation – 'The Sound Of The Smiths' – while Marr supervised the mastering of the album.

The album will be available as either a one-disc or two-disc version. The one-disc version contains 23 of the band's singles or would-be singles – including songs such as 'Still Ill' and 'You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby', which were originally intended to be singles but didn't end up getting released as such.

The second disc will contain 22 songs, including rare B-sides and live recordings. Included on the disc are the Troy Tate-produced 'Pretty Girls Make Graves', a cover of James' 'What's The World', and a live version of 'Meat Is Murder', the title track of The Smiths' 1985 UK Number One album.

Both discs will be available to download as well as being released on physical formats.

The full tracklisting of 'The Sound Of The Smiths' will be:

Complete waste of money. Nothing you've never heard before except maybe 'wonderful woman'? They've totally sold out as Shady's already pointed out. I loved the Smiths - saw them at GMEX and Salford Uni back in the day - but this is just taking the piss.
 
Can't stand it when people release loads of 'best of' albums or 'the singles' albums, takes the piss.

What do you mean, best of?

Did Morrissey run over a family pet of yours in the past or something?!

No; he just opened his mouth and "sang" (?), that's all. Probably a nice bloke (loves his mum, is kind to animals etc etc). Just can't sing to save his life.......IMO!!!!!
