B-Sides is a 2-disc compilation album by the British glam rock band Slade released in March 2007. This was the first time many of the songs included on the album were released since the early 1970s.

Since the late 1980s, the Slade fan club had confirmed that a possible project was the release of a b-side compilation although this never materialised.

Digital masters were supplied for a number of the earlier B-sides by Ian Edmundson, who is credited in the CD booklet. Some needles drops were used from copies of rare singles supplied to Salvo by fans.

A number of B-Side tracks were excluded from this collection, as Salvo did not want to create a 3CD package. The tracks appear elsewhere as album tracks or bonus tracks on other Slade remasters by Salvo:

  • "Good Time Gals" (B-Side of the single "Everyday")
  • "Dizzy Mama" (B-Side to the single "Ginny Ginny")
  • "My Baby's Got It" (B-Side to the single "Okey Cokey")
  • "Hold onto Your Hats" (B-Side to the single "We'll Bring the House Down")
  • "I'm Mad" (B-Side to the single "Knuckle Sandwich Nancy")
  • "Merry Xmas Everybody – Live and Kickin'" (B-Side to the single "(And Now the Waltz) C'est La Vie")
  • "We'll Bring the House Down – Live Version" (B-Side to the single "7 Year Bitch")
  • "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" / "Auld Lang Syne/You'll Never Walk Alone" (B-Sides to the single "Do You Believe in Miracles?")
  • "My Oh My – Piano and Vocal Demo" (B-Side to the single "Myzsterious Mizster Jones")
  • "The Roaring Silence" (B-Side to the single "Still the Same")
