This looks to me to be a UK only release, on the basis that the ringtone information on the back of the insert (image #719547) is only in £ Sterling.
I've added an Advert in "Blues & Soul" 923 (Jul 13th 2004) - image #1631610 - that features this. From that it looks like this was released late June or early July 2004.

This looks to be a "UK Only" release to me, the back of the insert (image #295123) has details of how to obtain ringtones with the pricing being only in £ Sterling.
I've also added an image (#1631563) of the Advert in "Blues & Soul" 922 (Jun 29th 2004). The magazine at that time looks to have been only routinely distributed in The UK and the details match this release exactly, even down to the "Parental Advisory" sticker.
It looks like this first came out in June 2004. This is what Discogs had and it fits in with the image (#1631549) I've just added of an Advert in "Blues & Soul" 922 (Jun 29th 2004) for this and Mr Solveig's debut Album.
I know I got this in early 2008, about the time that Duffy's "Mercy" was one of the big tunes of the day, so maybe it was re-promoted then?
This looks to have been released in June 2004. I've added image #1631489 .. the Advert in "Blues & Soul" 922 (Jun 29th 2004) which states that it was currently available. The review of the CD itself didn't appear in "B&S" until issue 924 where reviewer Charles Waring described the collection as being "funk as dirty as used toilet paper and as raw as a chimp's nether regions" ... lov-er-ley ...

At the time of this post the issue date is put as "August 2003", which seems very unlikely to me. 5th January 2004 seems much more likely, particularly as it debuted on The UK Official Chart on 17th Jan 2004.
