No, it's not correct. 30,000 copies are being distributed in New Zealand
alone, and we're a country of only 3.6 million people! It's not really
"limited" except in the sense that record stores were only able to place a
single order and no more will be produced once they eventually run out.

The version of Sweetest Thing on the B-Sides CD is the original version, not
the "98 remix". That's only available on the single. Otherwise, they could
hardly call it 'The Best Of (1980 - 1990), could they?
