Why waste more energy on something that will be b-sided than the actual album tracks?

i think peter gabriel, when he was introducing 'sky blue' on his most recent concert DVD, he was talking about some songs just seem to fall into your lap and they seem like the best thing you've ever written, and then other songs, you'll get a whim one day and record a little bit, and you end up tweaking it for years, and then it's finally finished. i would guess that's the story behind 'crocodile' and 'beautiful burnout'. the first version i heard of biro the leggy was very rough, not even B side material, although i could hear the idea there.
this album version will probably be completely different from what we originally heard 5 years ago- and it will be loads better. i have confidence in what they've put on the album and what they've left off. i know this new album will be great and we'll all appreciate it more once it comes out.
