This Moment: Cinderella Edition

On May 27, 2008, Sparrow Records released This Moment: Cinderella Edition. This edition has four additional tracks, including the acoustic version of the single "Cinderella". This version gained notoriety for being released days after the death of Chapman's youngest daughter, Maria Sue, who was one of the inspirations behind the song. The studio claims that there were plans for this edition a month before the accident.[14]
