OTHER NOTES |
Released on November 11, 2002, this
is the one disc companion to The
Best of 1990 - 2000 & B Sides. This version will be
available for reorder from the supplier, where as the two disc
version will be unavailable after the first week. This
multi-disc set was available only in CD format, the shorter set
is available in cassette and vinyl.
Several differences have been noted between
the tracks on this compilation from the original released
versions of these songs:
Miss Sarajevo: This is not the album
version, nor the single version. This is the radio edit
version previously found on only promotional singles of Miss
Sarajevo.
Mysterious Ways: There is an alternate
vocal in this version of the track. At 1:35 min the line 'She's
the wave, she turns the tide, she sees the man inside the child'
has been changed to 'She's the wave, she'll turn the tide, and
no question, she knows why.' Likely mastered from a different
vocal track.
Numb, Discotheque, Staring at the Sun, and
Gone: All are new mixes of these tracks done specifically
for this compilation. Gone also features a slightly different
lyrical track from the original version. In the Best of
version the line "What you thought was freedom just was
greed" is different from the original "What you
thought was freedom is just greed".
