I didn't know this existed and a friend suggested it. Turns out I have have 20 of the songs from my 12" collection. And what others have said is right, amazing production and awesome songs. "Do I have To?" is my favorite. -
Please validate the conflicting barcodes. Unable to find other submission for "Alternative" which duplicates the inconsistency. Is this perhaps a typo?

Edited 18 years agoA fine double album of the Boys' b-sides from the first ten years of Pet pop showtime. Too often underestimated as flipside fillers, these songs surprise collectively as a smooth album on its own, with its own highlights and hidden gems. B-sides are not intended to hit, so they avoid standards and even experiment a bit. First they breed some kitschy disco-dream, but end up poetic and quiet. The Very-era b-sides get a special credit as flawless, but many more of them have proven as popular and fan-favorites as their A-side twins. Go on, it's good pop.
