It was released in November 2, 1992 by the new owner of their back catalogue, WEA (Sire Records in the United States). Its highest British chart position was #29; it did not chart in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>WEA (now the Warner Music Group) had acquired the entire Smiths back catalogue in early 1992 (sister label Sire Records already had the North American rights). Along with the re-release of all original albums and compilations, they immediately set to work compiling a &#8216;best of&#8217; collection in two volumes. It was the first time a regular best of compilation had ever been made of The Smiths&#8217; material and the first volume effortlessly reached the top of the British charts. This, the second volume, fared considerably worse. The British press continued to groan about sell-out and low track selection coherence.<\/p>\n<p>The material is more or less picked and sequenced at random, and consists of both singles and album cuts. As with the first volume, in the UK a spin-off single was released: &#8220;There Is a Light That Never Goes Out&#8221;(which had originally been earmarked as a single back in 1986 but was ultimately passed over in favour of &#8220;Bigmouth Strikes Again&#8221;). The single was released ahead of the compilation album and reached #25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;Best II is a compilation album by The Smiths.
