B-Sides & Otherwise
Released by Rykodisc on September 23, 1997, B-Sides and Otherwise (RCD 10387) is a must-have collection of Morphine rarities. Compiling out-of-print tracks, live radio sessions, film soundtrack recordings and compilation contributions, B-Sides and Otherwise spans the band’s first three albums, presenting guitar-less rock in all its glory. Sweltering grooves and potent live shows have earned Morphine heaps of well-deserved critical acclaim as well as a devoted, and growing, international fan base. Good, Cure for Pain and Yes each delivered a mesmerizing dose of soon-to-be vintage low-rock tunes. Morphine's fourth album, Like Swimming, released jointly by Dreamworks and Rykodisc, continues in the tradition unique to the guitar-less trio while exploring new identities and new instruments. From the steamy opener of a live take on "Have A Lucky Day" to "Pulled Over the Car" from the Japanese version of Yes, B-Sides and Otherwise offers up a collection of little-known gems and hard-to-find classics from the Morphine vaults.
