Siouxsie has described B-sides as a place for spontaneity and experiment, and these songs prove it. Remastered from the original tapes, this edition keeps things studio-only, leaving out The Thorn EP and a pair of live tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe range is startling. A spiky cover of 20th Century Boy nods to the band's glam roots, while Tattoo prowls with a coiled menace that hints at the gothic shadows they helped shape. The French carol Il Est Né, Le Divin Enfant arrives as a frosty, mischievous curveball.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLater sides lean into lush, psychedelic shimmer and grand, cinematic arrangements, with Something Wicked (This Way Comes) showing how far they travelled from their post-punk beginnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe booklet adds a new introduction from Siouxsie plus commentary from Siouxsie and Steven Severin. For collectors, this is the other half of the Banshees story, and in many ways the more daring one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57188198449457,"sku":"602475087823","price":163.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Siouxsie_and_the_Banshees-Downside_Up_5LP_Box_Set.jpg?v=1793291807","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/siouxsie-and-the-banshees-downside-up-5lp-box-set","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
