I'm afraid my copies of those B-sides are from dodgy sources too - there was a JJJ radio tape floating about a few years ago ("Redneck Ramblings"?) which had True Believers Blind, Heaven and Earth and Devilfish Shuffle on it. I've been looking for the CD single (of Cemetery In My Mind, IIRC) they came from�ever since. They pop up on eBay from time to time, but usually go for $40+.

One of my local record stores has the one track Promo single, but not the 4 track version. They do have an interesting 3 track with the Scream in Blue version of Sometimes plus live versions of Written in the Heart and Used and Abused. And the Real Thing single with Eye Contact/Pictures.

This brings up a glaring omission in the Oils catalogue:� Why the hell isn't there a commercially-available b-sides disk?� Even the 8-song promo "Best of the B-sides" from the 20,000 Watt RSL era is 50% live stuff.� Imagine a compilation of all the non-live, non-remix b-sides, with the cream of the live/remix library�filling out the disk (or a second disk, most likely).� I would buy the hell out of that!� The material is already there, recorded and waiting.� There's no�expectation of a�tour or anything.� I can't imagine that it would be a money-losing proposition, even if sales are just to the devoted fans...

Oh, well... I can dream!

Hello Everyone,
I'm looking for the B-sides from the "Redneck Wonderland" singles and other CD singles, does anyone know of an or have fan made collection?

Thank you for your time.
