B-Side Babies is a compilation album by English new wave musician Adam Ant, released by Epic Records in 1994. [1] It is not to be confused with The B-Sides, a 7-inch EP of "Friends" b/w "Kick"/"Physical", released by Do It Records in 1982. [2]
Consisting primarily of single B-sides—both solo and with the Ants—the collection is described in the following manner on the back cover of the CD: [3]
The album Adam Ant always wanted you to have! Call it 'Yours, Yours, Yours,' because that's exactly what he intended! A true gift of Antmusic as a special thank you to all the fans who have been eagerly awaiting a chance to listen to the B-sides and bonus tracks they've never had before! In addition to US-released B-sides, other goodies found here include 7 tracks never before released in the US and 1 extra special treat never before released anywhere! So put on your dancing shoes and be Adam Ant's 'B-Side Baby!'
Most of the tracks on this collection were fairly well known to Adam Ant fans, regardless of whether or not they owned any of the singles.[ citation needed] "Beat My Guest" was the first song Adam and the Ants played at their debut gig at the ICA restaurant in May 1977. [4] "Fall-In" is an old Ants song from 1977, co-written with Lester Square. "Red Scab", "Juanito the Bandito" and "B-Side Baby" also date back to 1977. "It Doesn't Matter" was performed at a John Peel session on 23 January 1978, and "Physical" and "Friends" were performed at a Peel session on 10 July 1978. "Christian D'or", originally called " Christian Dior", is also from 1978, as are "Why Do Girls Love Horses?" and "Greta X". The "extra special treat never before released anywhere" is a previously unreleased version of "It Doesn't Matter".
"Physical" was later covered by Nine Inch Nails, and appears as one of the two bonus songs on their 1992 EP Broken. [5]
