| NO ALTERNATIVE |
     |
year | 1993 | ||
| track | sappy | |||
| pictures |
standard graphic layout (the various issues differ only in the credits):
cd - front inlay (girl), front inlay (boy), back inlay, cd (from the uk cd) cassette - inlay (boy) (from the german cassette) |
|||
| notes |
released with two different front pictures
the nirvana track is the last one, and isn't mentioned anywhere on the cd tracklist. for this reason it has been also mistitled 'verse chorus verse' or 'another rule'. the band/song is only mentioned on the tracklist printed on some cassettes as "uncredited/untitled" (example: cassette from canada). |
