B;sides themselves is a compilation of single b-sides by the british neo-prog band marillion, which was released on cd only in january 1988. This was the first time that those b-sides were made available in the then still relatively new compact disc format (with the exception of tux on;, which had featured on a limited edition cd single of ;sugar mice that was only sold at concerts). However, vinyl lp and this cassette version were issued in june 1988.



The compilation includes ;market square heroes, originally the a-side track for marillions 1982 debut single release, but here is included because it was re-recorded for the b-side of ;punch and judy; (1984). ;three boats down from the candy; was originally the b-side of ;market square heroes;, but the version on this album is the re-recorded b-side of punch and judy;. Also included is the 17-minute epic ;grendel;, originally a b-side on the 12; version of the 1982 a-side ;market square heroes; single.


B;sides themselves would turn out to be the last marillion record to be released while singer fish, who left in october 1988, was still in the band.
