Missing B-sides

Is there any need for the extensive 'missing b-sides' part of the article? What purpose does it fill?

The Masterplan is a B-Sides album for the first three albums in Oasis's discography. Some people may want to know what other B-sides Oasis had that weren't on the album. I elect that we should put it back.

So what are we going to do for the 'Stop The Clocks' page - cram it with the 100+ songs left off it? I think it's totally pointless, to be honest - anyone who has a slight interest in the other Oasis songs can either look at the Oasis discography page, or go through the singles. As it is, I think filling the page with all of the unincluded b-sides just makes the article look bulky and untidy. --Mr. Monobrow 22:29, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

On the contrary, B-sides are different than "best of" records, and there are only a select few amount of B-sides that Oasis have that some want to find. Also, finding discography pages that simply have the B-Sides missing are hard to find. Not to mention, Oasis put a large amount of effort into their B-Sides, so I'm sure many fans would like to try to find a website that lists the ones that are missing on the B-Side album. Not to mention, this is an encyclopedia and Missing B-sides is a good topic. --Flowerkiller1692 22:30 23 September 2006 (UTC)

The point still stands though, that those "missing" b-sides have no relevance whatsoever to 'The Masterplan' as an album. They might not be included on a b-sides compilation, but you could equally say that they were not included for the albums the singles were off, as the majority of the b-sides were recorded during the main album sessions. This is still a "best-of" album, just that it's limited to b-sides. I think that a simple link on 'The Masterplan' page to the Oasis discography page, which includes a listing to every single Oasis song released, and the single/album it was released on, would be more appropriate. --Mr. Monobrow 11:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

As already stated, these "missing" B-sides have no relevance whatsoever to The Masterplan. There are many things that fans would like to find somewhere, but Wikipedia articles are not the place for loosely-related topics. This list of B-sides is unrelated trivia when it comes to The Masterplan. —Squalla 21:15, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Given how Oasis are quite renowned for their b-sides, perhaps an article of some sort for the topic should be created. Perhaps a table listing all the b-sides and which singles (and which versions of those singles) they're available on. Could perhaps single out the most critically acclaimed ones too(The Elfoid (talk) 01:32, 18 April 2009 (UTC))

I am the Walrus

Curious why the version of I am the Walrus on this LP is almost two minutes shorter than the original B-side...? It's not really a good compilation if you still have to buy the original single to get the full song. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.242.89.7 (talk) 16:44, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
