When the band signed worldwide to Sony/Columbia in Australia, the company thought it needed some sort of internal introduction to the band for its employees. They put this sampler together as a quick representation of the group. It's only five tracks - a company representative said any more might strain the attention span of the average Sony employee.

Of Interest:
The packaging is very nice. They used grabs from the Sweetheart video for the graphics and added a history which at that point was comprehensive. There was also a sampler made by Columbia US which apparently contains 12 songs although it's never been sighted here.
