Aloha !

Just to clear up what and when it was released here's some information for you:

When This Ain't A Love Song was released around the world, Wedding Day was only included as a b-side on one of the 2 versions in the UK. No other format of This Ain't A Love Song contained The song never made it on singles outside of the UK, and it was overlooked on every bonus disc re-issues of These Days came with (even later on during the 1998 remaster 2CD versions of Japan).

Later on in 1996, Universal Germany decided to release it as a sixth single, co-inciding with the Limited Edition 2CD from These Days and to plug the German leg of the These Days Tour in 1996. The second disc of that particular version of These Days had no Wedding Day on it, so it was a strange move to promote a song that wasn't on any album, and would not be released in any way in the future.

It was released in Germany only, in 2 forms almost similar forms, both containing only 1 track. The orange copy was rleeased in a jewelcase but contained orange artwork with black text on it (saying Ritchie Sambora) and was available in stores, and the black copy had the opposite color scheme, contained the same text error and was the promo single sended out to radio stations. Although the single is considered rare, it's easy to get and some stores at that time offered the orange copy with the 2CD of These Days.

The promo was really only send to radio stations and although being almost the same, it's very rare and a lot harder to find. I also find it odd that such a strong track was overlooked on the box set since it's one of the harder to find b-sides of Bon Jovi, only appearing on 3 discs in the entire catalogue. (UK single, German single and German promo).

Salaam Aleikum,
