I want to know if it is going to be sold separately
or if it is going to be included in the package with
the Greatest Hits CD. And if it is included with the
Greatest Hits CD, will it cost extra money?

<<Okay. About the B-sides CD. It will be available, the only for the first
week after the week of the greatest hits album is released nationwide
(November 3rd, as far as I know) It will be packaged with every greatest
hits CD, until a week after it's released, then it will be pulled from the
shelves, and be replaced with just the single CD. I have also heard that it
will have a special price, so while it might be more expensive than the
single CD, I imagine it won't be too much worse. Hope this helps you!

I just want to clear this up really quickly...the Limited Edition cd (which
includes the B-side) will be released on Nov. 3rd (for the US). 1 week later
the single cd Best Of...album will be released...BUHT...they are NOT going to
pull the Limited CD off of the shelves....what they mean by "limited" is that
each record store is given a one shot chance at ordering as many as they want.
After that they cannot reorder anymore of the Limited Edition CD. Whereas the
record stores can reorder as many of the Best Of..single cds as they want.
This is not really going to be THAT limited in all actuality because hundreds
of thousands will be printed. The Limited term comes from the fact that record
stores will never be able to reorder this cd set after they place their
initial order.

Also..U WILL be paying for this Limited 2 cd set. The prices are not set as
of yet but I can tell U right now U will be paying about what a 2 cd set costs
of any other band at the record stores. The single cd will be cheaper and the
normal price of any new release cd thats in any record store. So your not
getting this Limited CD of B-sides for free..U are actually paying for it.
