Rag and Bone Buffet: Rare Cuts and Leftovers is a compilation album of songs by the English rock band XTC, released in 1990. It brings together single B-sides, BBC sessions, soundtrack contributions, the A- and B-sides of both a Christmas single released by offshoot group The Three Wise Men and solo single recorded by Colin Moulding as The Colonel,^[1] as well as other obscurities.

‘Heaven is Paved with Broken Glass” is not the original b-side version; it is, however, the same mix that originally appeared on the 1982 compilation Beeswax. The original mix has not appeared on CD to date or digital download. “Respectable Street” was the single version with a re-recorded vocal and lyrics rewritten so the single could be broadcast on the BBC.^[2]
