B-sides, Seasides and Freerides: Vinyl 2LP

Rounding up all the B-sides, demos and rarities Ocean Colour Scene released over the course of 1996, when the band was riding the crest of their popularity, B-Sides: Seasides and Freerides, illustrates the depth of the band’s ambition. Primarily comprised of acoustic material, the set includes a demo of “The Circle”, a fine, stripped-down version of “The Day We Caught the Train”, the neo-prog-rock of “Huckleberry Grove” and the funky instrumental “Chicken Bones and Stones” which features Paul Weller on organ. There’s also a live cover of “Day Tripper” that features Noel Gallagher on guitar and Liam Gallagher on vocals.
