''Play: The B Sides'', a compilation of outtakes from ''Play'' released as B-sides across the album's various singles, was released just over a year after the album in October 2000. Moby described the outtakes as "a collection of songs that weren't quite appropriate for ''Play''," and admitted that they would've never seen wide release if not for the album's success.
