thank you N and C as I prefer having two new songs to mixes!

You can fill up two full CDs from the B sides released from 1995 (Paninaro 95) till now.
Good times.

when I met them at the nightlife CD signing I told neil thank you for giving us new songs as B-sides.

I like the occasional remix but generally they are a waste as alot of them just seem content to remake a whole new track rather than keep the song structure.
so, I would rather get new songs. the B-sides are becoming legendary some of them are so good like decadence.

I´m totally mad about the song. Had to listen to it before I came to school.

Dave has a point. Even though I am something of a Suede fan, I must admits that the b-sides for the last two albums were for the most part really horrid. Mind you, Sci-Fi Lullabies rivals Alternative as the greatest b-side compilation ever.

A lot. The first three albums' worth of b sides were phenomenal (easily giving Alternative a run for its money) and the final two albums' worth had some gems. With PSB we've got effectively half the output (factoring in the timespan) and there's a real weak period in there from the second half of the Bilingual singles through Miracles (although there is some good stuff in there as well).

It's not really a competition or anything, of course. Just reacting to the idea that PSB are somehow generous in their volume. They're a bit stingy compared to some. Had they released b sides at the volume Suede did for example we'd have twice as many tracks by now!

I agree, although there are some quality tracks from that period. I find that PSB went through their own weak phase as well although they seem to have recovered admirably!
