This compilation is a wonderful, eclectic collection of interesting music. It's a shame the previous reviewer didn't take the time to realize what the album is, instead of slagging it off immediately...oh well serves him right!
If you are a fan of Morrissey, you are certainly aware of his influences, and early music interests, but what's unique about this compilation is that it includes not only early influences, but also current groups that must be in Moz's collection today.
There's also some great rockabilly cuts, certainly tipping the hat a bit to Moz's current back up group. It's kind of nice to be in on it a bit!

4.0 out of 5 stars moz's faves..., August 26, 2003

A must for Morrissey fans because it shows where Moz came from musically. I do admit that the packaging is deceptive. The cover features a pondering Morrissey with his name underneath and the album title, but nowhere on the front or back cover does it state it's a comp of songs picked by Moz and sung by the original artists. No, he does NOT sing a note on any of these song...but has written some extensive liner notes inside! For those of us who haven't read reviews or whatnot prior to this release, how are we to know that Morrissey's singing talents are not actually featured anywhere on this album? A trick by the record label, but still it's a nice compilation which every die-hard Morrissey fan should check out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Copy protection scheme crashes your computer. Stay away, August 3, 2003

I haven't even listened to this CD, and won't it goes back to Amazon on Monday. I put it in my computers DVD drive to listen to it, computer froze up. I didn't know it was the CD, so rebooted, computer wouldn't reboot. Wouldn't boot in safe mode. Booted with last known good config, it booted, as soon as you try to access the CD, explorer crashes. Computer won't boot with CD in drive, if you put the CD in the drive your computer hangs.

Not only am I owed a refund, but compensation for the time I wasted with this CD. In FINE print, and I mean 6 point font on the back of the inside cover, it says "This CD will not play on PC's or Macs." Tell us that up front so we can save some bother.
