Titles include "House Carpenter", "Hard Times In New York Town", "Mama You Been On My Mind", "Sitting On A Barbed Wire Fence", "Wallflower", "Santa Fe", "Who Killed Davey Moore (Live)", "Paths Of Victory", "Talkin Hava Negeilah Blues", "Let Me Die In My Footsteps", "Man On The Street", "Suze (The Cough Song)", "Seven Curses", "every Grain Of Salnd", "Catfish", "Tell Me", "Series Of Dreams", and lots lots more. Despite the large date rate, the set skews pretty heavily towards the mid 60s – which represents probably 50% of the material, alongside a good chunk of 70s tracks, and a few scattered 80s and 90s moments. The first entry in the Bob Dylan series from Columbia – and maybe still one of the most important – as it really focused on the kind of special material that had been changing hands in the underground for decades – part of that secret knowledge that would always make diehard Dylan fans sneer at anyone who only knew the official albums! There's some really amazing stuff here – especially great album outtakes, especially from classics like Freewheelin Bob Dylan and The Times They Are A Changin – plus some unusual 70s moments, weird early demo and live tracks, and lots more. Also features a live orchestral version of "Push The Sky Away". There's a total of 27 tracks in all – and titles include "Opium Eyes", "Instrumental 33", "First Skeleton Tree", "Hey Little Firing Squad", "Fleeting Love", "Accidents Will Happen", "Avalanche", "Vortex", "Free To Walk", "Give Us A Kiss", "Needle Boy", "Lightning Bolts", "Steve McQueen", "First Girl In Amber", "Glacier", "Sudden Song", "Earthlings", and "Heart That Kills You". An astounding package of work from Nick Cave – one that shows just how endlessly creative he's been in recent years – decades that have most of us thinking of the artist as far more than just a singer and musician – even though he's still able to spend plenty of time in the studio, on music like this! As the title implies, the tracks here are either b-sides to singles issued over the past 20 years, or rare material from a variety of different projects – brought together as a double-length set that fits very well next to any of Cave's full albums with The Bad Seeds.
