The one that comes to mind as just being TOO good is Life And Soul Of The Party, which would have fitted so perfectly on The Invisible Band. They've done so many really top class B-sides but that's the one that really could have been an album track imo.

Unbelievers - I know it's a Susie Hug written song, but Travis recorded it first so I'm not counting it as a cover, and it's so much better than Under The Moonight.

Has anyone mentioned The Score yet? That's one of my favourites.

Along with A Little Bit Of Soul, and tons of others. I love almost all the b-sides that I've heard.

Ring out the bell. One of my top ten favorite Travis-tunes. Well done Dougie!

I can't wait for the potential release of a B-sides album, I have just started to discover the B-sides and I can't believe how good they are, especially Dougie's songs are, I can't believe that "good for nothing" didn't make it onto 12 Memories. Just shows that Travis are one of the last B side bands. I'm sure most bands would die to have these songs as A-sides yet alone B-sides

I think Dougies songs are easily good enough to have an album all of their own. Can see why they're not included in the albums, the style is quite different to Fran's. But over the years he's got so good that it's a travisty that they're hidden as b-sides.

Just The Faces Change, The Score, Ring Out The Bell, Know Nothing, I Forget My Name....top class.

Always forget The Distance too. Sooooo underrated.

Ring out the Bell & The Sea (the Sea is one of their best songs possibly ever imo)
