Rounding up all the B-sides, demos and rarities Ocean Colour Scene released over the course of 1996, when the band was riding the crest of their popularity, B-Sides: Seasides & Freerides, illustrates the depth of the bands ambition. Primarily comprised of acoustic material, the set includes a demo of The Circle, a fine, stripped-down version of The Day We Caught the Train, the neo-prog-rock of Huckleberry Grove and the funky instrumental Chicken Bones and Stones which features Paul Weller on organ. Theres also a live cover of Day Tripper that features Noel Gallagher on guitar and Liam Gallagher on vocals.
