The original incarnation of Lost Sides was a promotional-only CD released in 2001, and only featured the B-sides from the singles taken from the band's debut album Lost Souls.

The commercial edition of Lost Sides was released with a revised track listing in September 2003 as a single CD and as a limited edition double disc set.

"Zither" is credited to Williams/Goodwin/Williams, but the song is a cover of Jack Nitzsche's opening theme for the 1981 film Cutter's Way.

At the end of 2000, the original issue of Lost Sides was released as a promo-only CD (HVNLP29CD).

[7] "Crunch" and "Lost in Watts" are two tracks from Doves' previous incarnation as Sub Sub, but the versions of the songs found on this collection differ slightly from those found on Sub Sub's album Delta Tapes.
