| OTHER NOTES |
| Released as the only single to promote the
Best
of 1980 - 1990 & B Sides, The Sweetest Thing also had several promotional
singles released in advance of the album. The tracks found on the promos
mirrored what was available on the commercial singles.
The cover artwork for the promo singles was also similar to the commercial
artwork, with the placement of the title text being slightly different
on the US version. |
