Belle and Sebastian has mostly been led by Stuart Murdoch, but a number of other band members have been have been key contributors too, much like George Harrison's role in the Beatles. Some of these band members have released solo albums. I generally have found those solo albums to be significantly weaker than B&S albums, but most of them have at least a song or two that are of a high caliber. So I've gone through all of those albums and have selected the best tracks for these stray track albums. This is the first album in which we get some of those, in the form of a couple of Isobel Campbell songs.
Most of the rest of this album comes from a B&S EP and single ("This Is Just a Modern Rock Song" and "Legal Man," respectively). But I've also included three unreleased songs. One is a French song sung by Campbell. The other two are actually quality B&S originals that were inexplicably never released in any form: "Paper Boat" and "Landslide." By the way, the latter is often identified on bootlegs as a cover of the famous Fleetwood Mac song, but just one listen will make clear it's a totally different song.
By the way, I have more B&S songs from 2000, but those will be on the next album in this series.

The cover art comes from the cover of the "This Is Just a Modern Rock Song" EP. I added the title at the bottom.
