    earlyadoptr
    This compilation was released in the US after George Michael was arrested for trying to pickup a undercover police officer in a men's restroom. Mary J. Blige did not want to be associated with him, as this might create bad publicity for her. This lead to "As" (their track together) not being included on US versions of this compilation.
