This news makes me happier than the announcement of The Cure’s B-Side Box Set. Whoo!

Ultimate Siouxsie and the Banshees B-Sides Collection. Includes 55 tracks, 34 on CD for the first time, a 76 page booklet with an introduction by Siouxsie plus a track annotation by Sioux, Steven Severin, and Budgie.

Tracks 1-6 on Disc Two are from the Hyaena sessions when Robert Smith of The Cure was an official member of the band. One of those tracks, Tattoo, is very reminiscent of The Creatures.

Like many of SATB’s B-Sides, Something Wicked (This Way Comes) and Are You Still Dying Darling? are arguably better songs than the ones found on the album they were left off of.

No news yet of a domestic release.
