...bacili su nam komadice hleba, usli smo u sumu, tamo nas je cekala cokoladna kucica...Combining the noisy swells of the Jesus and Mary Chain with melodic elements of ’50s rock & roll, The Raveonettes formed in Copenhagen during the early 2000s. Their discography includes five LPs, plus a handful of EPs, so it’s only fitting that the Danish shoegazers should get their own odds ‘n’ sods collection.
Functionally titled Rarites/B sides, is collection covers b-side and rare material spanning Whip It On, Chain Gang of Love, Pretty in Black and Lust Lust Lust. Rarities/B-Sides marks the first time the 2003 single The Christmas Song has been available on an album, as the song was absent from the 2008 Christmas EP Wishing You a Rave Christmas. Despite the song never being included on an album singer Sune Rose Wagner stated “it has since become our biggest selling……song ever with appearances in countless movies, commercials, etc.”
Covers released as b-sides or bonus tracks from the period this compilation spans are not included. Specifically Eddie Cochran’s C’mon Everybody, Hank Williams’ I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry, and Buddy Holly’s Everyday.
