Rarities and B-Sides is a compilation of almost all of the previously released B-sides, outtakes, and demos by The Smashing Pumpkins. According to EMI, this compilation is "available as a digital download only and can be found at iTunes or any other digital service provider web-site." Most of these tracks can be found on previous compilations such as Pisces Iscariot, Judas O, The Aeroplane Flies High, and Earphoria. The single "Rocket", was itself excluded from the compilation, but it does include the b-side "Never Let Me Down Again". Besides that, all singles owned by EMI were included on this set.
The release is notable however for offering the first digital releases of seven tracks that were previously only available commercially on vinyl:
The original "Honeyspider," as well as, the original single versions of "Tristessa" and "I Am One" were not included on this compilation, because they are owned by Sub Pop and not EMI. "My Dahlia" and "Sun", the first commercially issued Smashing Pumpkins recordings, were not included in this compilation, probably due to licensing issues. They appeared on the Light into Dark compilation.
Also missing on this release are four songs from Pisces Iscariot: "Frail and Bedazzled", "Whir", "Spaced" (all Siamese Dream outtakes) and "La Dolly Vita", a B-side from Tristessa (song) (on Sub Pop).
This digital compilation also does not include the 1989 demo "Daughter", which was released as a flexi disc single which was only available to Reflex Magazine subscribers.
Additionally, seven official remixes of Smashing Pumpkins songs were excluded from the compilation. These include "Moby Mix" and "Cement Mix" from the 1979 Mixes single and the entire The End Is the Beginning Is the End Remixes single.
As a result of its use in the trailer for the movie Watchmen, the track "The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning" from this compilation reached a peak position of 53 on Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart during 2008.[1][2]
