About

Downside Up is a four-disc box set collecting B-sides and bonus material from the catalog of Siouxsie & the Banshee. Also included (on disc four) is The Thorn EP, originally released in 1984. Three songs of this boxset were later hailed by other bands : * Tricky covered "Tattoo"(the b-side of "Dear Prudence) to open his second solo album Nearly God. "Tattoo" is a pre-Trip-Hop that the band recorded in 1983. It inspired Tricky when he forged his style. * Massive Attack sampled in 1997 "Mittageisen" (the "Metal Postcard" version sung in German) on "Superpredators" for the movie soundtrack The Jackal * Shirley Manson of Garbage stated that "Drop Dead / Celebration" (the B-side of "Happy House") was one of her favourite tracks by the band. The singer also stated to Rolling Stone magazine in 1996 her fondness for this B-side. * Morrissey played "Eve White/Eve Black" (the b-side of "Christine") during intermission on his 1997 Maladjusted tour. The Times wrote in its review : "Standouts include the spiky Drop Dead/Celebration, the sinister Eve White/Eve Black and the chopped up industrial funk of Tattoo". The critic also rated the band as one of "the most audacious and uncompromising musical adventurers of the post-punk era." .
