Man I love that cardigans b side compilation The Other Side Of The Moon. I think they just rereleased it under a different name “best of the rest” or something. There’s really too many good b sides. I especially like the 2 instrumental tracks Laika and Emmerdale.

Most I’ve ever paid for a cd was $30 for this cardigans single that has a rare live radio performance of sabbath bloody sabbath. Hasn’t been released on anything else
