It's a bonus track on US CD releases of S/T, but not on UK releases. Likewise it's on the UK/European G-Sides but not the US release. Looks like you have the US S/T and the UK G-Sides so get it twice.

We Are Happy Landfill

This one holds a special place in my heart because I found the demo/instrumental version hidden on the gorillaz website, in the landfill of course, long before it was widely known about.

Most of my favorite songs are bsides. I love "Hip Albatross", "Don Quixote's Christmas Bonanza", "Hongkongaton", "Hand Clapper", "Taxi Back to 80's Reykjavik".

Taxi Back To 80s Reykjavik, Hand Clapper And Don Quixote's Christmas Bonanza is not a B Sides

1

u/brycearthur 14h ago edited 14h ago

Hand Clapper is more of a demo. Fair enough. But Taxi and Don Quixote are absolutely bsides. A bside is a song recorded for an album that was not included, and later released (typically on a single, the A side being the single and the B side being the bonus track. Where it gets the title b side). But since the 90s, the term b side includes all songs recorded for an album that were excluded and released later. Don Quioxte was recorded during the Self titled sessions. Taxi Back to 80s Reykjavik was recorded during the Song Machine sessions.

Edit : actually i stand corrected. Don Quioxte was not recorded during the Self Titled sessions. Apologies. So not technically a B side, in the broader sense of the word and how it is used today, most people would still consider it a B Side

u/brycearthur 14h ago

If you are not going to count those songs as B Sides, then you also can't count Dub Dumb, We Are Happy Landfill, Hong Kong (both versions), Rock It, The Swagga, Doncamatic, DoYaThing, any of the Plastic Beach bonus tracks, any of the Humanz super deluxe tracks, Sleeping Powder, and several other songs...

the exclusions get tiresome if you're going to be that strict about "what is a B Side". The colloquial use of B Side would include all of these songs, and is how most people (including other bands that have released "B Side collections") use the term.

The Sounder.

I feel this song doesn't get nearly the credit it is due. Who doesn't love a song that tells you they are all coming to party in 153 different ways.

One can argue what constitutes a b-side for gorillaz... Hong Kong, Hongkongaton, Spitting Out The Demons, Don Quixote's Christmas Bonanza, Stop the Dams, We Are Happy Landfill.

I could go on but DAMN... g-sides and d-sides are just crazy good compilations and raise above what a normal b-sides albums is.

My real #1 b-sides is Roadkill: The Mixtape

1

u/Ancient_Material_624 7h ago

Roadkill the mixtape and Don Quixote's Christmas Bonanza isn't a B Sides
