THE STORY 

We have replaced the original B-sides of “Dandy In The Underworld” – “Groove a Little” and “Tame My Tiger” – with alternate mixes from 1976 and 2006, along with a 2006 mix of “Dandy In The Underworld”.

As the B-side of “Celebrate Summer” was “Ride My Wheels” from the “Futuristic Dragon” album, we have replaced it with two tracks recorded later in 1977, but unreleased at the time – “Hot George” and “20th Century Baby” – along with a monitor mix of “Celebrate Summer”.
