A cult-favorite compilation from The Smiths, The World Won’t Listen gathers singles and B-sides from 1985–1987, capturing the band’s melodic defiance and lyrical bite. This 2012 reissue is pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl and includes glossy inner sleeves with printed lyrics. Morrissey’s title choice reflects the group’s frustration with the music industry—an ironic nod to their enduring legacy.
