B-sides
"Down to Sea" is an early demo of "Sea Song". The B-sides for CD2 are songs from Doves' previous incarnation as Sub Sub. The versions of "Crunch" and "Lost in Watts" differ slightly from those found on Sub Sub's album Delta Tapes. "Crunch" is an edit, and "Lost in Watts" is an alternate mix omitting some background vocals (which are prominent on the Delta Tapes version). "Valley" features the piano riff from the Beach Boys' Smile-era songs "Do You Like Worms" and "Heroes and Villains".
