Re-release

This single was re-released on February 28, 2001, featuring five new tracks. The single was re-released for the fact that it was initially released in 1998 only in the 3" CD format, which by this time had been replaced by the new standard "maxi" CD format. In this case, the single was re-released in 2001 for a wider compatibility.
