Would you rather have had the Lost Beats tracks as normal B-sides for each of the singles, for example: (B/W = "Backed With")

Omen
B/W Black Smoke

Warriors Dance
B/W Fighter Beat

Take Me To The Hospital
B/W Big Gundown

RWTW
B/W Wild West + Mescaline (Hope lol)

Or do you think fans would have still been dissapointed?

We are a fussy lot, we would have moaned about fighter beat for sure.

Really think we will get a 'Lost Beats 2' you know, so i'm glad we are getting remixes on the singles in a way.

If Warriors Dance was released with Fighter Beat on the B side, I think that this forum would have been very pissed off

Take Me To The Hospital with Gundown, on the other hand, would have been a keeper.

i would have prefered getting them as normal b-sides as having the last 3 singles without b-sides feels kind of bare, even if people were to complain about the quality of the new tracks - we would have had something to look forward to with each single just like the old days.

I think fans were way more upset/angry that we just got remixes this time around, even though some of the remixes we really good. Fans had higher expectations for the Lost Beats EP, than a single b-side would have. Plus we had to pay a lot more money for the IMD box set to get the EP in the first place.

Well put
