In an ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ with ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ done in November 2011, Stefan talked about Placebo’s plans of recording some new music in 2012.
๐ข"That was one of the longest tours we ever did, supporting that album [Battle For the Sun]," Olsdal tells Billboard.com. "It lasted the better part of two years. We're still recovering from that, really." Nevertheless, Olsdal says he and singer-guitarist Brian Molko are "continually writing" and should be ready when the trio -- which also includes drummer Steve Forrest -- decides to hit the studio in 2012.
"I'm in touch with Brian," Olsdal says. "He'll bring in a track or parts of a track, or I do, or we just kind of jam something up in the studio. The shape and sound of the next album will be decided when we get back together. I suppose once we came off the road it was kind of hard to plug in a distorted guitar again, because we'd done that every night for the best part of two years. When we came back home it was nice to hear nice, clean, acoustic sounds, so maybe we'll still feel that way when we start to (record)."

Instead, a bit later, the band announced that they would release not only a single but a five-track EP titled B3 on October 12th. In fact, EP was released on October 15th, three days later than predicted.
๐ข๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง: "We reconvened in the summer of 2012 ostensibly to record a new single as we had just signed a new record deal. That single morphed into the five-track B3 EP which we released in the autumn to placate the more militant factions of our fanbase."
(๐ต๐พ ๐ด๐ ๐๐-๐๐๐ก๐ฆ, 2013)
๐Cover design and sleeve photography for the EP was done by ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐, Brian's ex-girlfriend and mother of his son Cody. She actually used their son’s photos for the EP artwork.
Anthony Crook was also responsible on the sleeve design. Fiona Brice did string arrangements on The extra. Besides Placebo members, David Bottrill and Adam Noble worked on production; mixing was done by Alan Moulder and Neil Comber, mastering by Tim Young.
๐The songs of the EP were recorded at both RAK Studios in London and Metalworks Studios in Toronto, Canada (while Placebo have been working on their previous album Battle for the sun).
๐For the ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐, which was on April 20th, Placebo prepared a limited edition of 3000 copies of B3 ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ to be released throughout Europe.
Brian beautifully talked about this exclusive item in his interview on XFM radio.

Dear PLACEBO fan,
Firstly, thank you for purchasing B310INCHEP clear vinyl, specially created to celebrate Record Store Day 2013.
This is one of only a strictly limited edition which will never be remanufactured.
Vinyl has always played an important part of the way we, as individuals and as a band, listen to and engage with music.
As keen vinyl collectors we wanted this release to highlight Record Store Day and what it has achieved over the short time the idea was conceived in 2007.
This is the one day that all the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music.
Thank you for being a part of it and supporting your local record store.
For more information visit RecordStoreDay.com.
Peace and love
PLACEBO
