WEA had acquired the entire Smiths back catalogue in early 1992 and they immediately set to work compiling a ‘best of’ collection in two volumes. It was the first time a regular best of compilation had ever been made of The Smiths’ material and ‘Best I’ effortlessly reached the top of the British charts. The material is more or less picked and sequenced at random, and consists of both singles and album cuts. It was followed later the same year by its sibling, …Best II.
