CD release
edit| Triple J Hottest 100 2 | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Compilation album by Various artists | |
| Released | 24 July 1995 31 May 2004 (Reissue) |
| Genre | Alternative |
| Label | Triple J, ABC Music, EMI Warner Music (Reissue) |
There have been 3 release versions of this compilation album. The original version's track listing is listed below, and has been discontinued by manufacturer. The second version was a reissue by Universal released shortly after the original release. It features the same track listing as the original print. Strangely enough, the catalogue number corresponds with 2004 releases, the year when Universal began reissuing Hottest 100 CDs, despite this being released in 1995. The third version was released in 2004, this time by Warner Music. The track listing is different from the previous releases. "Closer" and "Seether" have been removed, and "A Certain Slant of Light" was moved up to track 2 on Disc 1.
Despite being released under Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "Do You Love Me?" is listed on here as just Nick Cave.[1]
