It's a best of from the Use Your Illusion albums? i have never seen this here in the UK?

Rockon from Amazon writes:
This album is an attempt, but hardly brings you the best of the two albums. What you all don't realize is that this album was put together for the sole purpose of being marketed as an unedited but still "clean" album. Notice that none of Axl's profanity-ridden rants are on this album. Back Off Bit@h, Perfect Crime, Get in the Ring, and others that have more than a few choice words in them have been left off, and that's why the slower stuff is on this one...they cut out the majority of the Use Your Illusion albums' tunes, and this was what they were left with to make a cd out of. Note that this is the only Use Your Illusion album that Wal-Mart carries, because of their "clean-music" only policy. Nevertheless, great songs: Civil War, November Rain, Knockin' On Heaven's Door...but do yourself a favor, and buy the original two, they're classics and you'll realize you'd have regretted purchasing this instead.

- sorry if this has been mentioned on heretodaygonetohell in the past, only i do not recall

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but here in the states I believe it was only sold at K-Mart.  I have a copy of this record by the way, so it does exist.

For K-Mart to stock a special K-Mart version of a GN'R album, they sure must be huge over there in the States
