D-Sides is a 2007 compilation album by Gorillaz. The album contains B-sides and remixes from singles and bonus tracks for the band's second studio album Demon Days. It was released on 19 November 2007 in the UK and on 20 November in the United States and is available in standard and deluxe editions.[8] The Japanese deluxe edition includes three extra tracks, plus the video for 'Rock It'.[9] The creature on the album cover is Pazuzu. D-Sides performed similarly to its 2002 predecessor, G Sides, reaching #63 on the UK Albums Chart, while it reached #166 on the US Billboard 200 chart.
[edit] Background
In a 2006 interview with Verbicide Magazine, band members were asked if a new remix album would be produced for Demon Days as there was for Gorillaz. They answered that it was a possibility and that might involve the Spacemonkeyz again. In the same interview, they were asked if there might also be another G Sides. Again, their answer was that it might be possible.[10] In January 2007, websites began listing a March release date for a Phase 2 B-sides album.[11][12] One of the websites, musictap.net, later pushed this back to 3 April.[13] According to Gorillaz-Unofficial, the reaction of official parties behind Gorillaz is that the release date is just a rumour for now.[14] On 29 August, musictap.net reported that the B-side album would be titled D-Sides and would be released on 20 November.[15] On 18 September 2007, the official Gorillaz fansite confirmed the release of the album, as well as unveiling the album artwork and track listing. D-Sides was released on 19 November 2007 in the UK and on 20 November 2007 in the U.S.[16][17] The song "Rock It", like many songs on the album, was intended for inclusion on the Demon Days album, though was later pulled from the tracklisting. "People" appears to be an early demo version of "DARE", which doesn't contain as many instruments, and does not include Shaun Ryder on the track. The "Dirty Harry" remix appears in the 2010 film the Karate Kid featuring Jaden Smith. Also, "Stop the Dams" was featured on a 2011 Google+ commercial.
