Following on from the 2010 reissues of Bona Drag and Everyday Is Like Sunday, the Morrissey releases continue with 'The Very Best Of', a unique overview of the HMV/Parlophone years. As such, the album brings together hit singles like Suedehead, Everyday Is Like Sunday and The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get, with b-sides Girl Least Likely To, Such A Little Thing Makes A Big Difference and the previously unreleased solo version of Interlude (originally released in 1994 as a duet with Siouxsie Sioux).

Complementing the CD will be a bonus DVD, which includes eleven remastered promo videos (three of which are previously unavailable on DVD: Boxers, The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get and Sunny) and the rarely seen (and previously unreleased) live performance of I've Changed My Plea To Guilty taken from the 'Tonight With Jonathan Ross Show', December 1990.
