Background

Four of the six B-sides to this 3 CD set are re-recordings of some of Bowie's less familiar 1960s material that were intended for their own album release back in 2000, whilst "Safe" and "Wood Jackson" were new compositions, the former originally written but dropped from The Rugrats OST.^[1]
