This really shouldn't be considered a compilation considering almost none of the songs appear on any of the studio albums. It's better than Strangeways which oddly enough is rated higher. So many great songs!

Although technically a compilation, it is only on here that some of the Smiths best singles tracks can be found on a US release. For example, Ask has got to be in their top five songs, not to mention one of the best pop songs ever. This albums is really only second to The Queen is Dead for overall consistency and quality throughout. Great band, great album.
