Beck

Beck, sometimes known as Beck.com B-Sides, is an EP gathering leftover tracks from the Midnite Vultures era. It came out in 2001 on Geffen, though the plan had originally been to release it in mid-1998. Only 10,000 copies were pressed, and they were sold through Beck's own website. It was an enhanced CD, which meant the "Nicotine & Gravy" video came along with the music.

It's a fan's record, and a curious one. "Arabian Nights" had previously turned up only on a Japanese edition of Midnite Vultures, and the "Mixed Bizness" remixes came from fans who entered an online contest. "Zatyricon" features producer Tony Hoffer's recording of a phone call to a plastic surgery clinic. Nick Hyman of Under the Radar, reviewing it warmly, picked out "Dirty Dirty" as sounding like Beck had spent an evening with Basement Jaxx and had one drink too many before heading to the studio.
