They haven't issued one to my knowledge. I collected them the hard way.
You can listen to them on YouTube and buy a few of them on iTunes. My favorites include --
Sikamicanico (Wayne's World soundtrack) Bunker Hill Ravens of Avalon Time Body of Water Instrumental #2 Rolling Sly Stone (live track) Leverage of Space (live track) Million Miles of Water Funny Face I'll Be Your Domino Show Me Your Soul (Pretty Woman soundtrack) Fortune Faded (Greatest Hits compilation) Save the Population (Greatest Hits compilation)

No CD of B-Sides at all !
Wow, R.E.M made it easy for me as did Pearl Jam with their B-Side compilation multi CD sets then.
It's absolutely insane that a band as popular as the RHCP hasn't collected these tracks on a wide-release that makes it easy for fans to enjoy. Some of their b-sides are better than album tracks and IMO, a select few could have even been released as singles.
Even more maddening is that there's an entire album of material we haven't heard yet... the few songs that have come out have been awesome.

In 2011, Smith discussed the recording sessions for Greatest Hits, saying they recorded sixteen songs and wanted to release a new album of that material after a brief tour; however, by that time John was against doing that because the style he was playing had changed and evolved as had his musical influences. Smith said there is an entire Red Hot Chili Peppers album out there that nobody will likely ever hear.
In addition to "Fortune Faded" and "Save the Population", the names of the other fourteen songs are either unknown or unconfirmed except for "Bicycle Song" and "Runaway", which were included as a bonus tracks on the iTunes release of By the Way. There are rumors that the songs "Leverage of Space" and "Rolling Sly Stone", which were included in Live in Hyde Park, were recorded at this time. Cover versions of "Black Cross" and "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" were also featured on the Hyde Park album and rumored to have possible studio versions from the sessions as well.[citation needed] Also, the song "Mini-Epic (Kill For Your Country)", which was performed on the 2004 tour and was supposed to be on an anti-war album produced by Rick Rubin (a project that never came to fruition), is believed to have been recorded at this time.[citation needed] One other song name, which Flea stated backstage at a performance for his Silverlake Conservatory of Music, is "Desiree". "Hump de Bump" was also worked on for the first time during these sessions, as a jam named "40 Detectives". Allegedly, he recorded this on his phone and it was later recorded formally for Stadium Arcadium.[citation needed]. It is also possible that songs such as the Californication era outtake, "Bunker Hill", which the band performed live back prior to that album's release, and b-side, "Eskimo" were remixed and overdubbed during these sessions. Fans also believe that an early version of "Desecration Smile" could have be recorded during the sessions considering it was performed at the 2004 Bridge School Benefit concert. This version featured a completely different chorus than the released version did two years later on 2006's Stadium Arcadium.
In a February 7, 2014 interview with fans on reddit, Chad said that the band hopes to one day release a box set which will include the unreleased material from these recording sessions.
On October 31, 2014, "Starlight" and "50/Fifty", two unreleased instrumental outtakes along with three rough mix versions of "Runaway" from the Greatest Hits sessions leaked to the internet.

ARK is referring to a compilation that came out in 1994 and has the same title as the song from RHCP's debut album. It's been out of print in America for years, though, and most of the songs on it have since been added as bonus material to other things that the band has released.

EMI also issued a RHCP edition for their short-lived Essential CD series which, despite the title, usually compiled B-sides and other rarities. The Pepper's comp was comprised of cover versions. Not sure of the origins of these recordings.

It came out in that gap between when we knew Frusciante was gone and Navarro hadn't joined the group yet. When it was released I was excited for some "new" music from them because it had been a few years since BSSM. I was a little disappointed with it at the time but it was good to have anything from them at that point.
