Unreleased Songs Masterlist: Material to expect from further archival releases

[Peadar 'Big Dinner' O'Driscoll]

There is a lot of unreleased material being leaked on youtube atm...lots of stuff from 75-77 plus Carry me Home from Holland era and more.

[Bellagio 1975]

I wonder if this big leak will hasten/facilitate more archival releases here in the near future?  🤔   One can hope...🤞

I’m hoping it doesn’t do the opposite

I’m hoping it doesn’t do the opposite

By the time the 72/73 boxed set is released, a huge hunk of these "Proposed Brother Bonus Tracks" will have been released.

I don't think any of this will hurt potential future boxes.

The question will become what and how will archival sets be formulated for post-1973 material? Will we continue to get somewhat album-themed/album-centric sets? Or will they do a sort of "Bedroom Tapes" type of set to present the 1974-1977-ish material?

Either way, if more archival sets come our way, I think most of these tracks will see release. With the exception of "Lazy Lizzie" perhaps, for obvious reasons. And perhaps we won't see those exact same sort of stripped-down, "underdub" mixes of "Love You" material; alternates of that sort can be presented in a number of ways.

YES. PLEASE. Was it an LA Times article that delved into 'The Bedroom Tapes' some many years ago? Got me so hyped that maybe some record exec would see the popularity of the article and take a chance on such a set. Years later I get that there is copyright extension stuff to consider, as well as a whole slew of band politics. But at the time I was so hopeful for a Bedroom Tapes set. Perhaps one day...

"I Really Love You" (recorded in April 1978) is buried at about the five-minute mark of this YouTube video of live home movies:

Notice the quality of his voice, too. He’s pitchy af but it’s relatively  smooth and quite similar to how he sounded in 1975 minus a lisp

That track really makes me question how much "sweetening" was really done on Brian's vocals on MIU. Consider the fact that this "I Really Love You" recording is probably still in it's "raw" form.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Same…

[Jay]

And if the real answer is "well, actually not as much as you've all been told", why the hell didn't Brian use that voice in the previous two albums, or any of the ones after?!?!?

[onkster]

Wow, that Carry Me Home is fantastic. And this has never turned up anywhere before?

[Bellagio 1975]

Time to update the list and for good reason too!  🙌

[DennysDrums83]

In 2023, I would love to see a release when includes a lot of live material, including a live version of River Song, as well the original studio recording/demo.

[Bellagio 1975]

I'd love to get all of whatever exists from the 1974 Caribou Sessions though we may have to wait till 2024 but you never know.  One can hope for an early release! 🤞

[Awesoman]

I'd wager that the next big release from the vaults will/should probably be the aborted Adult/Child album.  It would be the logical follow-up to the recent two box sets and we are venturing into 15 Big Ones and Love You territory. 

[nts and the drum]

From the looks of it I reckon we’ll probably get something for 1974 this year. Am I expecting another physical release? Absolutely not due to the lack of material from the era. It’ll probably just be another digital only set but I’ll be perfectly fine with that. As long as battle hymn, Rollin’ Up to Heaven and that alt version of Child of Winter get put out (however bad those 3 are) I’ll be happy with it.

I just saw this. Never heard the song oreven about it:

That Youtube channel has been posting nothing but AI outfakes so disregard.

[Rocker]

Damn! Thanks for the heads-up and sorry for posting this.

[Bellagio 1975]

It's all good.  Kinda tripped me up at first until I realized what they were.  Whoever runs that channel is clearly just trolling everyone.  🙄

Some other tracks that may exist that were inexplicably left off the Feel Flows set.  Hope these see the light of day soon:

That last one iirc is just a demo of Dennis on piano and Al on guitar playing it. Nothing really there but it’s interesting. Not expecting a release for that though.

However I am surprised that early version of Barnyard Blues got passed up. Would love to hear that someday but it is what it is :/

I’m pretty sure c-man and Joshilyn confirmed this existed - or at least did exist. During one thread relating to the recording of this song (maybe on a thread about Brian’s bass credits?), it was confirmed that the credits on 15BO for this song aren’t accurate and combine credits from both versions. The first version has Brian on bass, Carl on guitar, and Al producing the basic track. The second has Al on guitar, Carl producing the basic track, and Dennis Dragon on drums (plus overdubbed rhythm and lead guitars from Carl). Bruce might be playing keyboards, and Captain Daryl Dragon is either on bass on keyboards.
