The GREATEST HITS recording will be released in three versions; This version is the deluxe limited edition version. Disc 1 has 15 tracks plus an additional eight live songs on a second disc! The GREATEST HITS is the ultimate solo career retrospective spanning the years 1988 to the present day, a period where Morrissey hit his commercial and artistic peak. The album features many classic Morrissey tracks such as Every Day Is Like Sunday, the more recent Irish Blood, English Heart and the addition of two brand new songs That s How People Grow Up and All You Need Is Me.

The Oscar Wilde of indie-rock, Steven Patrick Morrissey was born in 1959 near Manchester, England. The sophisticated crooner's parents were first generation, working class Irish Catholic immigrants. In between leaving school and starting the fabulous and successful indie band the Smiths, Morrissey created two fanzines, one for the New York Dolls and the other for James Dean. His solo career has been a rocky but logical extension of the Smiths, who disbanded in 1987 after a falling out between Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr. The wide popularity that the gay icon holds among Hispanic teens is testament to his music's strong, cross-cultural powers.
