SMITHS, THE - THE WORLD WONT LISTEN

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. The title reflects Smiths singer Morrissey's belief that mainstream radio and record buyers weren't paying attention to the band
