(1988)"B'Sides Themselves" is a compilation of single B-sides by rock band
Marillion released in Januar 1988. Originally only available on CD, it was also issued on vinyl in June 1988.It includes the 17-minute epic "Grendel", originally released as the bonus B-side of the 12 inch version of
Marillion 's debut single "Market Square Heroes " (1982) and not previously available in album format. "Market Square Heroes", originally an A-side track, is also included here because it was re-recorded for the b-side of "Punch and Judy" (1984), as was "Three Boats Down From The Candy", the standard b-side of "Market Square Heroes", which also appears in the new version.Not included are the B-sides of the singles "
Heart of Lothian " (1985, "Chelsea Monday") and "Warm Wet Circles " (1987, "White Russian", "Incommunicado"), as they contained live versions of album tracks. The B-side of "Incommunicado" (1987, "Going Under") is not included, either, which was used as a bonus track of the CD version of "Clutching at Straws " and therefore not strictly a non-album track.Track listing
