Fan-made deluxe editions

As we all know, by and large, Morrissey's re-issues have been a complete mess. While there have been solid ones such as the Low in High School and You are the Quarry deluxe editions, all other releases have problems. From worse cover artwork, to the deletion of songs, to the addition of songs that aren't even from the right sessions. This got me intrigued to see if I could create better hypothetical deluxe editions that are more in line with what we usually see from artists. I've created these under the presumption of the original track listing:

I’d change There Speaks A True Friend to the elusive extended version of the track that still hasn’t surfaced to this day.
 
How about "I Thought You Were Dead"?
I knew I was missing at least one song, haha. It would go on the Low in High School edition, giving it an even 20.

You are missing the Bobby Remix for the Not a Dog edition. Very surprising it was not included
 
Reminds me of the infamous hoax reissues announced by PassionsJustLikeMine (which turned out to be an April Fools, two months early). Not sure if those original deleted pages can be recovered from anywhere, but other than turning out to be pure bollocks, I remember them looking pretty tasty at the time. https://www.morrissey-solo.com/thre...pril-2014-via-passions-just-like-mine.130169/

Dear Friends, i'm an Italian fan of The Smiths and of this website. First of all, excuse me for my poor English! I've really appreciate this project of the legacy reissues, but sadly i've noticed it's long deleted from passionsjustlikemine. somebody have made a screen still or simply have a note with all the tracklists of the original project? (i would like to reproduce them for personal use). Thank you very much!

I believe it was an April Fools joke.
Which is why it was deleted.

I made my own version of Oh Phoney that combines the better quality (full band) version that is cut off with the full ending of the lower quality full band version. I was considering throwing the released great quality version on top of that, that just has vocals and guitar for some damn reason. Yeah I like Morrissey rare songs a lot.
