Best of the 'B' Sides is a compilation of B-sides by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 4 November 2002 as part of the Eddie's Archive box set. Each track was remastered and the set came with a running commentary from Rod Smallwood. Covering all of their singles from their first (1980's "Running Free") to 2000's "Out of the Silent planet", many of the band's original B-sides were excluded from the collection: "Mission From 'Arry" (from 2 Minutes to Midnight); "Massacre" (Thin Lizzy Cover from Can I Play with Madness); "Bayswater Ain't a Bad Place to Be" (from Be Quick or Be Dead); "I Live My Way" (from Man on the Edge); and a number of live B-sides. It is described on the band's website as "a collection that not only reveals much about the band as individuals and the inherent character of the band, but also provides a real insight into who and where their influences came from."
