A cult‑favourite compilation capturing The Smiths at their melodic and defiant peak, The World Won’t Listen gathers singles, B‑sides and essential cuts from 1985–1987. Morrissey’s wry title nods to the band’s frustration with the industry, yet the collection has endured as one of their most beloved releases.
This 2012 heavyweight reissue is pressed on 180‑gram vinyl, housed in glossy inner sleeves with printed lyrics, and cut at Optimal Media. A definitive edition of one of the most iconic compilations in British indie history.
