[edit] Background

In a 2006 interview with Verbicide magazine, band members were asked if a new remix album would be produced for Demon Days as there was for Gorillaz. They answered that it was a possibility and that might involve the Space Monkeyz again. In the same interview, they were asked if there might also be another G-Sides. Again, their answer was that it might be possible.[3] In January 2007, websites began listing a March release date for a Phase 2 B-sides album.[4][5] One of the websites, musictap.net, later pushed this back to 3 April.[6] According to Gorillaz-Unofficial, the reaction of official parties behind Gorillaz is that the release date is just a rumour for now.[7] On 2007-08-29, musictap.net reported that the B-side album would be titled D-Sides and will be released on 2007-11-20.[8] On 2007-09-18 the official Gorillaz fansite confirmed the release of the album, as well as unveiling the album artwork and track listing. D-Sides was released on 2007-11-19 in the UK and on 20 November 2007 in the U.S.[9][10]
