Additional information:
EMI released this collection of mainly singles taking advantage of the publicity around Mercury/Island's "Maladjusted" album, associated singles and tour.

Korean releases don't include "Interesting Drug". The record company feared the song would be misinterpreted as an incentive to use drugs.

 

Artwork information:
The photo used by EMI was an old promotional one of Morrissey.

Promotion:
UK: An advance cd numbered CDPP0015 (view in left frame) served for promotion mainly in the UK, but perhaps also in other European countries. "That's Entertainment" was included on at least four various artists radio promo/sampler cds: "EMI IN House" (13 tracks), "Retro-Spective" (38 tracks/2 cds), "Channel 18 August 1997" and "Channel 19 September 1997".

Holland/Europe: Some copies of the album on cd have been seen with promo stickers on them. A two-track promo cd (EMI, CDSP156) was pressed in Holland for promotion over Europe around the time of the release of the album. The tracks on it are "That's Entertainment" and "Suedehead". "That's Entertainment" was at some point scheduled as a single from this compilation, but plans were scrapped. View artwork in left frame.

Japan: The original 1997 edition was promoted with stickered copies while promos for the 2002 reissue were stamped in the back. Both of them had promo-only text etched on the inner ring of the cds.

Korea: "Interlude" was included on a EMI radio sampler simply titled "EMI Sampler 29". It is assumed that this served to promote this compilation.
