B-Sides is an unreleased B-sides album by American alternative rock band Garbage. The album was left unreleased due to their American label Almo merging with Interscope Records in 2000. Had it been released, it would been released on April 2000.

Background

[edit]

The new material for the B-sides album took place three-day September 1999 recording session during Garbage's world tour in support of their second album Version 2.0.[1] The sessions resulted in "Silence Is Golden" and "Til the Day I Die".[2] Both songs were loose and organic, contrasting the very dense layered production that featured on Version 2.0. "Silence Is Golden" in particular had been written with an odd structure for a Garbage song: a 6/8 shuffle that progressed to a straight 4/4 beat[3]

The sale of the band's North American record label Almo Sounds to UMG in early 2000 put the B-sides album on hold; Garbage decided to simply start work on recording their third album instead.[4]
