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.

[Bedroom Tapes]

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

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.

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?

[Bedroom Tapes]

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

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.

[Bedroom Tapes]

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.
