      I am not that interested in the 1 minute clip of the first of the b-sides. I expect the other two to be much better.

                  Well... hopefully this will become a lot clearer. I REALLY hope Sanctuary/Attack label will be so generous as to release a US version that will include all B-Sides on one regular CD. (I am grateful they weren't stingy with B-sides on the IBEH single, not pulling that old early '90s scam of 2 B-sides split over 2 sold-separately discs.) And a DVD-only release for the rare tracks would wreak havoc on my "You Are The Quarry + B-Sides" work in progress. My car stereo and DVD discs don't see eye to eye, nor my computer.

                  Offtopic aside - I didn't predict this but I think Jerry Finn did an excellent job producing the album, and should be invited back for a second shot.
