Description

The group were still the darlings of the British music press, but articles alleging everything from racist connotations in ‘Panic’ to potential splits began to increase paranoia within the band. Marr wanted a break, but instead, decided to leave the group in the summer of 1987 following the completion of Strangeways. With business affairs in disarray and no clear direction forward without Marr, Morrissey, Rourke, and Joyce decided to split up a short time later. Goddard, S, 2009.

Retrieved 6 March 2012.In effect, the album performed a similar role to 1984’s Hatful Of Hollow. Assembling B-sides, killer radio sessions and a couple of the band’s recent hit singles, that earlier title had bridged the gap between The Smiths’ debut album and Meat Is Murder, while The World Won’t Listen was the perfect stop-gap for fans waiting for the band to follow The Queen Is Deadwith Strangeways, Here We Come.

Stephen Street – additional drum machine programming on "London", sound effects on "Asleep", [25] sampling on "Rubber Ring" [26] Johnny Marr – guitars, keyboard instruments, slide guitar on "Panic" [9] and "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore", [17] harmonica on "Ask", [18] mandolin on "Golden Lights", marimba on "The Boy with the Thorn in His Side" [19] The album is a collection of the band's singles and select 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.

My highlight choices are going to skip over the cuts from The Queen Is Dead and Meat Is Murder, since they overshadow the best use of this release as a collection of B-sides and single-only releases.

There's just something about the conciseness of _The World Won't Listen._ "Panic", "Ask", "London", "Bigmouth Strikes Again", "Shakespeare's Sister", "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out", "Shoplifters Of The World Unite", "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side"….the quality is simply unrelenting. The instrumental "Money Changes Everything" does act like a divider between the brilliant and the rest, but undeniably stunning are "Asleep", "Half A Person", "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" and "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby". I even have a soft spot for their cover of Twinkle's "Golden Lights".

Reviews

The Smiths had a sizable collection of songs that were only available in the singles format. Here is a collection of those songs, plus some cuts from their albums (mostly from The Queen Is Dead, plus a song from Meat Is Murder). This compilation will teach you that The Smiths had some fantastic songs that never made it onto a proper record - Ask being the prime example. Kent, David (1993). Australian Chart Book 1970–1992 (illustrateded.). St Ives, N.S.W.: Australian Chart Book. p.279. ISBN 0-646-11917-6.
