![]() Putting together a collection like this, of songs that by their nature were deemed not A-side material (and good luck explaining this concept to your grand children) is slightly strange. ![]() Some of my former record labels would literally have had me wearing a chicken suit if it would have meant more sales, but there was always a line somewhere I couldn't cross. Especially a version dressed up in clothes that didn't fit. I just wanted to do the best by the song, and more often than not that meant admitting defeat and letting the song disappear, to be recycled at some future date, rather than release a bad version. I have never fully known how to present a coherent image to the outside world, and my music has always been about an experiment with taste, if not more. Has it really been ten years? Some of these tracks need a lot more than youth to excuse them, and unfortunately - being 30 when I released my first album - I don't really have that. Well, putting together this B-side and Rarities compilation has been like that. Ever pulled a photo album from the shelf and looked in horror - fingers over your eyes - at the way you dressed in the '80s.
