It's so strange as I donwloaded them from my mobile phone provider's music store.. They're obviously more up to date than I thought! Thanks for the info - have you heard the Butterfly Rocket record?

"Heaven Sinner" is an unreleased b-side that was featured on a promo EP for her first album.

"I Don't Think We've Met" was the first single and the first track on the ORIGINAL version of "Can'tneverdidnothin'" that was subsequently scrapped and taken off of the album. There's tons of promo singles of it out there. The original version of the album (which was MUCH MUCH better than the version that she released) is also out there, but it a little harder to find.

Were there other tracks that didn't make the general release?

Yeah, there were a couple.
The original tracklisting was as follows:

1. I Don't Think We've Met
2. Till I Get To You
3. I Gotta Know
4. Around The World
5. Swing It Around
6. Happy In The Morning
7. Can'tneverdidnothin'
8. I'm Gonna Leave You
9. The Last Time
10. Hey Love
11. Fatherless Child

Seriously, i can't tell you how different the original version of the album is from the album that got released. I mean even the songs that are on both versions are drastically different for the most part. I can't even listen to the version that got released because it bothers me so much.

AhhhhhHAHAAA!! Don't say that!! I'd love to hear them, I can't understand how my mobile phone provider got such a good music store! You don't know if there are full versions on ebay or anything like that do you?

Um, there are probably copies of the original out there. They were only released as promos in cardboard slip cases but i'm sure there are some to be found. I can't imagine that they'd be sooper-expensive.

hello, can someone help me finding the original release of Cantneverdidnothing? I really wanna hear this, but cannot find it... The only things I find are digital download sites, which have a wrong track listing for the released version. Maybe someone can send me the album as mp3 or what?

thanks

I bought one of the two available of Nikka's promotional copy of the cd. It is different, I am not sure if better than what was released. I believe it was a mistake to not include I dont think we've met. It is a quality cd though.
