B-Sides: 1996-2006

B-Sides: 1996–2006 is a two-disc B-sides compilation album by British alternative rock band Placebo. It spans their time at Virgin Records. It originally was part of the complete Placebo EMI discography boxset The Hut Recordings, released in 2009 before being issued separately in 2011. It omits covers (excluding "Dark Globe" which did not appear on their Covers compilation), remixes, live recordings, and alternate versions (excluding "Soulmates", an alternate version of the song "Sleeping with Ghosts") that appeared as single B-sides during the same period, and focuses mostly on songs written by the band that didn't make the cut for their studio albums. The album cover design is reminiscent of the cover artwork for Sleeping with Ghosts....
