### Trivia

* All versions of B-Sides 1 outside of it's second artwork, have album art that is designed as a joke, with the Aesop Rock inspired art featuring Rav sitting on the toilet, and the "LIMITED [VASTLY SUPERIOR ALBUM ART] EDITION" featuring what appears to be the penis of a wooden animal. Despite this, B-Sides Volume 1 is one of the only B-Sides treated like a proper release, in description presenting itself as a project of Rav's albeit one composed of disjointed tracks. This attitude comes at contrast to Rav's modern view of the B-Sides, in which he views as zip files of music, not being albums, EPs, or even projects of any capacity.
