Morrissey doesn't own the publishing rights to his songs, so they can release his old stuff every day whether Morrissey needs money or not. Depending on what kind of deals he signed in the past, it is possible that he doesn't even see any of the proceeds from the sale of the box set. At some point, we'll probably see the entire Morrissey collection on Rhino records. I wish he was releasing a 10 CD box set of all new singles and B sides. Now I guess I'll buy this one too.
Obsession sucks sometimes.
