From Wikipedia:
Bona Drag is a compilation album by Morrissey released on 15 October 1990. The album features an array of Morrissey's most popular songs from his early solo career, most of which had not been released on any previous album. The album name meaning nice outfits is an example of the subculture slang Polari explored further on the album's first track "Piccadilly Palare". The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on 6 December 2000. In 2010, the album was remastered and expanded to include six bonus tracks.
When I first got this CD back in 1990, I played it to death. The 2021 release is the dame as the 2010 20th anniversary release, with six bonus tracks. I picked up a discounted copy on tea coloured vinyl with the poster. Here is something else, from Wikipedia:
"Ouija Board, Ouija Board" has a verse removed ("The glass is moving, no, I was not pushing that time")
"Piccadilly Palare" has an extra verse, as has circulated on bootlegs ("A cold-water room")
"Interesting Drug" fades into "November Spawned a Monster"
"Suedehead" edited to remove guitar fade on the intro.
I have to say that some of these changes, particularly on Piccadilly Palare are a bit jarring.
