So the original plan was to release a b-sides album sometime after V2.0 but it got canned due to legal reasons with the different labels. If it had happened, how do you guys think it would've been set up? All the b-sides, or just a few to make up a 12 or 13 track cd....and do you think there would've been any singles/videos released from it? I wonder, assuming it had been released in late '99, or 2000, how it might've impacted the release of BG, by keeping the band on the map a little longer leading up to the release of the 3rd album..... Kind of a pointless thread, I know.

The original plan was to make a b-sides and remix compilation for the US market in mid 1996; this then carried over to early 99 when it was talked up as a worldwide release planned for April 2000. Shirley even did a little promo for it with british magazines, doing interviews...and then the legal situation with Almo Sounds put a stop to it, and the band just carried on with recording BG.
There was talk again of releasing it in late 2002, but they've pretty much referred to the album jokingly ever since.

What I have figured out over the years was. The labels have fucked (pardon my French) with Garbage since day 1. They have done their best to keep it out of the mainstream. 2.0 got sort of there, but since then they have to seemed to have been forced away. They label has made it almost impossible to release good material. Plus blocking any sort of promo for them. Just my two cents worth. *steps iff soapbix with magaphone in hand*

I Know it breaks my heart to think Garbage have suffered greatly as a band over the last few years in terms of promo/ respect from their label(s)
I hope whatever they put out next doesn't suffer in much the same way

I know....it's crazy.
I don't see why they couldn't just release some stuff independently; indie labels allow far more freedom to bands. Or drop the whole major label thing altogether like the Smashing Pumpkins have done.

We don't know what their contract status is. They may still be tied to a label.

Long term contracts are usually 5 album deals (Greatest hits might be counted as a fifth album, or not, depends on the small print). That leaves us with little to go on.
Butch once said the B-sides album would be counted as a fifth album, so I'm assuming the band were on a 5 album deal originally.
