It is the record i would give to non fans to introduce them to the Manics. An awesome package all round.
I agree - the Faster/PCP single is brilliant in every way. I'm also a big fan of From Despair To Where; I remember the first time I heard the Heavenly version of Spectators Of Suicide...it was one of those magical moments in which everything seems to stop for the song you're listening to. This is an awful way to put it, but you know what I mean. And The Masses Against The Classes plus b-sides = awesome too.

This thread has served to make me realise that I haven't listened to Manics b-sides in far too long, so I'm going to make a playlist and pay them more attention. In the meantime, the ones I can remember well and love are:

Spectators Of Suicide (Heavenly version)
Close My Eyes
Prologue To History
Mr Carbohydrate
Sculpture Of Man
Groundhog Days
Never Want Again
Socialist Serenade
Valley Boy
Horses Under Starlight.

I promise to give the B sides more time and so Lipstick Traces will get dusted off!
Yay! Although I can't remember what I actually said! Will have to look back further in the thread!

I remember now! Yes, you will not regret getting those B-sides into your head Dolphin! Trust me!

Faster/PCP definitely the best single, was pondering that the other day. I hate rating things in order, but some b-sides I love:

1) Comfort Comes (nearly good enough to go on HB)
2) Spectators Of Suicide (Heavenly) (easily better than GT version)
3) Prologue To History (one of the best songs of that era)
4) Bored Out Of My Mind (easily worthy of GT)
5) Litany (probably best of the era)
6) Strip It Down (Live) (how can it sound that much better live?)
7) Sculpture Of Man (amazing vocal, worth it for the wills, Harry line)
8) Love Torn Us Under (almost as good as the song it's rippping off)
9) Dying Breeds (best Nicky vocal)
10) Donkeys (recently got into it)

I love Manics b-sides

I don't have Fear Of Motion or Little Trolls, since I've managed to collect the singles in cd format, are they actually that good? I'll get them one day, just in a few years when I'm richer maybe!

Fear Of Motion is great. Little Trolls is prehaps a more acquired taste but I like it!
