It's all about the B-sides

Ooh I'd have loved to have heard Vum Garda - and Cariad - in that context.

I don't agree either that there's anything wrong with it - on the contrary.

all of the above and of course Hotel Istanbul i still think is amazingly brill

Erm... who decides these things???
I would have absolutely no problem with it, especially 'Strangeways ...' as it has such a fabulous excitement-building quality!
Bring it back, I say!

This just came up on random play, which reminded me, so although it's nowhere near Christmas yet... here's an early listen for Lee and anyone else who hasn't heard this little gem

Al sent it to me the other day and it's now my favourite Elbow B-side! Cheers for uploading, everyone should hear it.

did V2 ever get anywhere with their much rumoured B=Sides album of yesteryear? seem to recall comment on it 3-4 years ago (das boot or something at one stage?)....

i guess with the current re-release stuff its never to see the light of day?
