@@IsaacsSuperShorts it actually isn’t lol, it shares the same sample but it aint, thanks tho, that song mad fire
Remember when Carti's fans sang his unreleased song on his concert? That was funny af, because he himself wondered how it was possible
🤣🤣🤣
That was hilarious seeing, he was so confused at how they knew the lyrics

“How the fuck y’all know that song??”
The Beach Boys' SMiLE used to be one of those unreleased albums with lots of unofficial bootlegs floating around until Brian Wilson decided to revisit and release it in 2004 as a re-recorded solo album. Even the original 1966/67 recordings were finally released in 2011. Absolutely amazing album.
Makes me think of the Stooges album Raw Power which was re-mixed in 1997 and became a completely different album in the process. Longer explanation:
The original version of the mix was considered unreleasable by the band's label. They weren't exactly rolling in the benjamins being a fairly underground rock band in the early 70s, and this was effectively their last shot at making some money with a slightly more "traditional" rock album (as opposed to the experimental proto-punk hellscape that is Funhouse), so they accepted the request to change the mix.
If you don't know the story, you'll be surprised to hear the person they got to mix it was David Bowie. It wouldn't be my first thought, but he was kind of "the guy" at the time. Problem was, they barely had enough money to pay him for one day of work, so he basically took the tapes Iggy Pop gave to him and started working. There's differing takes on what happened. Bowie claimed something like that the band, lead guitar, and singing were all in separate takes and he basically had to cobble them together himself, which made it hard to actually mix properly, but that's contested. The result was very subdued compared to what Iggy Pop had originally produced, but was considered far better by all parties.
The album gets released, doesn't do too well, band breaks up. Not like they weren't going to anyway, but that didn't help. Flash forward to 1996 and Iggy Pop is now being asked to mix the album himself. A lot of people hated the mix and thought it completely killed the energy of the band, and had taken to circulating fanmade "fixed" tapes. He agrees to do it, and the result is absolute insanity.
If people thought Bowie's mix was subdued and unlistenable, Iggy's was the exact other side. He made the album so loud and shrill that paradoxically it's basically impossible to listen to at reasonable volume. The guitar and vocals are mixed so loud that they start audibly clipping. And everyone loves it.
There's still some debate about which version is better, but I only really see people preferring the re-mix. Eventually that version gained a remastering which fixed some of the loudness and clipping issues, which I hear is the best version.
@MAN yeah, the Iggy mix is raw as hell. Search and Destroy becomes visceral. Huge improvement
Glad someone said something about it, SMILE would've been one of the greatest albums ever if not for the events that happened with brain Wilson. The re release box set is very good and a thoughtful recreation though
Smile is truly the greatest "what if" story in music history. But hey, at least we got Brian Wilson's interpretation of it and the sessions which are wonderful.
my favorite album ever
Frank Ocean was going to release an album in 2020 titled "Look At Us We're In Love" and do an entire tour for it but then covid happened and his brother died. We got 4 singles from it, and 2 singles that are unreleased. The stories about those 2 unreleased singles are crazy, Vinyls accidentally being shipped out. Being played at Frank's night club. One of the single's even had a Skepta feature. We never got to see the rest of the album but it was supposedly dance inspired.
I'm not really into Frank Ocean so it's not skin off my back, but how do you have vinyls pressed and not release the song? Like how does no one steal a record and upload it at least
@@man4437 The single with skepta was going to release first. But then he decided to go with another single. Somehow the vinyl got put on his website and a couple of people got it. His team contacted those people and told them that if they returned the vinyls they would get rare frank merch in return. All of those people sent them back and nobody has heard the actual record since.
whats the name of the leaked songs?
@@kos.emek1 The singles that were released are DHL, In My Room, Dear April and Cayendo. The singles that were never released are Little Demon (feat. Skepta) and These Days. The unreleased singles never had a clear leak only snippets. But little demon has a couple of great remasters. If you look at the covers for the released singles you can see 13 silhouettes. This meant 13 songs on the album. 4 of wich were actually released as singles and 2 of wich were planned but never happened.
@@rex_comehere Were the songs good? I’m asking because this is the first I ever heard of this album.
can't forget that the leaks for the original whole lotta red literally kept Carti's career alive for the two years he was teasing the album, super iconic and even in an unreleased format still managed to be insanely influential
The reason he took so long was because he his music kept leaking
@@Ehgg- Initially yes, but only 5 or 6 songs from the original wlr in early 2019 got leaked, and very little got leaked following that
we cant forget narcist too
No it's because he's a dirty dirty liar
@@Ehgg- We eventually got a masterpiece. But i wish we had gotten WLR v1 in 2019 because we never got an album with his baby voice sound
Dude Tylers "Wolf" (From 2010) has been leaking massively. Apparently the story goes he was going to release it but his computer crashed. But recently in this last week almost like 8 songs dropped. It's similar to projects like "Bastard" and "Goblin".
Legit nothing leaked for 12 years, and the album is nearly done in a week
@@jegg6397 Yeah dude, even dinosaur this year in general has been leaking on the same level
honestly surprised that bites didn’t mention tyler here. he has a lot of lost and unreleased material.
there are alot of obvious fakes coming out lately that alot of people seem to be gullible enough to believe too.. rotten sarah for example
it’s also worth noting it was supposed to come before GOBLIN and made a new version (of WOLF) after the crash for his major label debut but couldn’t because the label said it was too dark and had to dumb it down to GOBLIN.
My Chemical Romance was supposed to release another concept album called The Paper Kingdom which was about a group of parents who have tragically lost their children, creating a story about their kids in the woods fighting a witch.
It never came out due to many different reasons but it was just ultimately too depressing even for MCR
Hmm...lovely album concept!
that sounds fucking amazing
Wolf 2010 by Tyler the Creator is one that’s very interesting due to it leaking a ton lately! It was originally gonna be released in 2010, but Tyler released Goblin instead due to XL Recordings scrapping Wolf. Tyler was then gonna release it after 2011 but his computer crashed and the files were lost. They have been recovering them since, and only now there’s been a ton of leaks.
And of course, my original comment got deleted by UA-cam I think, so thank you Susan.
ong
And zombies circus lol
in 1994 David Bowie recorded a SUPER experimental and conceptual album called ‘Leon’, which has since been at least partially leaked online and it’s really really interesting!
As far as I know, The Leon suite has been fully released years ago. The first leaked was in the 2000's in very low audio quality and even Mike Garson claimed via twitter that he was very surprised on how far the leakers went in finding the album. Later it was re-released years later in a much better audio quality by a bootleg music label: the first one has the full suite (the album length is around an hour and twenty min) and a limited edition with some demos left out from 0.1 outside that came frome The Leon Suites and their rare live perfomance.
MCR's The Paper Kingdom. Was supposed to be a concept album about a support group of parents of dead children, it ended up being too depressing for the band and they broke up before they could release it. There's been whispers of it being released for years. Most recently 3 snippets were leaked onto r/MCR that OP said were from The Paper Kingdom, and that they were willing to sell the whole album for 10k. Although due to backlash from the sub they never leaked the full album or any full tracks.
it was going to be leaked on leakedcx but the bands fans ruined it lmao
@@max-zf8ob yea, it ended up being bought and vaulted by a seller.
Now right after Weezer released their first album, Rivers came up with the idea of a “space opera” album called Songs From the Black Hole. It was eventually scrapped in favour of Pinkerton where a couple songs would surface on. It would take just over a decade for some more songs to be released under the Alone demo series in 2007 and 2008. 2 years after that, Pinkerton Deluxe would release with a bunch of demos for SFTBH.
YESS, hoping someone would mention it! Nice, I was gonna include it but this was already getting suuper long lol.
Ecce Homo better
Balloonerism is one of those albums that feel so personal especially when you learn the history behind it
The Beatles actually had an unreleased album, titled Get Back, that was supposed to be released some time in early 1969, with the title track being released as a single in April 1969, however due to internal disputes in the band it remained unreleased until 1970, with it being reproduced and renamed to Let It Be, which was released a month after they broke up, though a recreation of the original album was included in the Special Edition/Super Deluxe version of Let It Be, released in 2021
Also, in 1967, they were going to make an album inspired by their Liverpool origins. They wrote Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane for it, but overall, they didn't write/record anything else.
Prince' Black album was originally pulled two weeks before release as he felt the album would have been a dark stain on his legacy, however a few legitimate copies got out and the album got bootlegged to hell before getting a limited release in '95.
It is one of the only officially realized projects of his to not be on Spotify although you can pretty easily find it on UA-cam. It's a very fascinating album, including some of his darkest material such as Bob George.
One of my USMC roommates had the actual release version of the album on Cassette. I hope he still has it.
The big one for me is LSD by my favourite artist, Cardiacs. They had been working on the album for years, and all that was left to be finished were vocals, but sadly, their lead vocalist and songwriter had a heart attack after leaving a My Bloody Valentine show. The state it left him in made him unable to record anything, and after his death in 2020, the album was left unfinished. There may be a happy ending to the story, however, as members of the band have been working hard to finish the album.
The irony of the band name and the fact that he had a heart attack is interesting, did he have bad cardiac health in general and that's what they named the band after? Anyway sorry for your loss I know you didn't know him personally but it would still be terrible to lose someone you cared about like that
Most people probably don't care about pop music here, but I find the story of Charlie Puth's unreleased third album interesting. It was going to be a sequel to his 2018 project Voicenotes, scheduled for release in 2020. He released three singles from it, I Warned Myself, Mother, and Cheating on You, early in 2019. He ended up cancelling the album after reconsidering the music he wanted to make (and Elton John saying it sucked). Still, some tracks were repurposed into CHARLIE, his 2022 album, and there's rumors that a deluxe for that album will feature some stuff from the cancelled 2020 project.
XCX World by Charli XCX, Label issues, leaked issues, so many issues with this album led to it being scrapped, with some songs finding a release elsewhere as droplet singles or given to other artists.
It’s kinda crazy that Yandhi was practically finished with Kanye and the help of cool producers on YT to iron the small tweaks. Also, the many versions of Hurricane and what it would finally turn into come release. My favourite still the OG or the DONDA live listen (the beat stops in between for the release ver. kill it a little)
Coil’s album Backwards was recorded back in 1993 at Trent Reznor’s Studio in New Orleans. Most of the tracks morphed and changed over the decades into The Ape of Naples and The New Backwards which weren’t released until after their singer had died in 2004
An unreleased album I wish was released was artpop act II. I wonder what have happened if the artpop era was supposed to go the way Gaga wanted to.
i was waiting for you to talk about PUPPY and TEAM EFFORT by brockhampton, 2 albums bh made and were supposed to be released right off of the saturation trilogy in 2017-18 to start a new trilogy, but got scrapped after the ameer vann controversy and got kicked out, they instead released iridescence,ginger and roadrunner as the new trilogy, there are many leaks for both these albums and their lead track READY FOR WAR from PUPPY is considered the best brockhampton song. (they still released puppy merch during their breakup merch drop)
He talked about it last video
ready to war is considered the best bh song by whom?
The things I would do to have puppy officially released
Porter Robinson sampling an unreleased collab between him and Kero Kero Bonito on his song Musician will always be a fun one to me tbh.
That remembers me to the Tabasco sample used on Holla Out by Skrillex, still waiting for that track to see the light
“Whole lotta red” by playboi carti actually has 3 different versions of the album. V1 was late 2018 - summer 2019 and was more of his “baby voice” sound. V2 was late 2019 - early 2020 and had the @ meh kinda sound. V3 was the one we eventually got in late 2020
Nas created an album before stillmatic that was a predecessor to the lost tapes which is called Death of Escobar which included songs that were eventually scrapped that ended up on The Lost Tapes, songs like My Way, Drunk by myself and Poppa was a playa but some had different names, the album was widely bootlegged but no original copies of the album have been found. Some songs are even exclusive to the project.
Drunk by myself is really an amazing song
drunk by myself was actually for a different unreleased nas album, a double disc called “i am… the autobiography”. parts of it were repurposed into his third and fourth albums, “i am” and “nastradamus” after disc one of the original leaked online in 1999. songs from the original were eventually released on the lost tapes, along with songs from the death of escobar. you can still find the original disc 1 leak online, as well as some pretty great fan recreations of the whole project.
The Weeknd also had an EP named “The Noise” which was gonna be his first project he had his stage name at “kin Kane” but would later change it but if you search up “The Noise” on UA-cam or Spotify you’ll find the songs so it’s really unreleased than lost but I thought it was interesting and wanted to let everyone in the comments know about it.
BROCKHAMPTON are some pretty accomplished non-releasers, including
- Multiple teased albums that got cancelled because of in group conflicts
- Releasing a music video for a song that they never officially released on streaming (LAMB, a personal favorite of mine)
- A series of livestreams during COVID called “Technical Difficulties” where they streamed songs that they would never release on streaming (except for a couple recently released on their final album TM)
- Having enough unreleased music to make more albums than they have released (my friend who’s a massive BH fan claims to have 20 albums worth of unreleased songs with over 200 different songs he’s found)
- And some more things I prob forgot about or don’t know about
Damn, I miss the band.
Daft punk had a music video that was released but was removed from their website. We are still searching for it. It was called Rollin & Scratchin (Live in birmingham)
my favorite unreleased album is songs from the black hole by weezer, the demos are great and just the story of its creation is also great
It sounded great but the lyrics were really bad IMO other than Longtime Sunshine
Weezer's Songs From The Black Hole would have been their second album. It would have been about a group of explores going into deep space.

Carnival Of Light is a 14 minute long Beatles single that to the public at least has been unreleased, it was originally commissioned in 1967 by the Million Volt Light and Sound Rave and was supposedly an avant garde music concrète that the two remaining Beatles have, Paul McCartney has wanted to release it multiple times but Ringo is still yet to form an opinion on wether they should release the track
Still waiting for the Beethoven album to drop
😂
real
if he was really a goat, why hasn’t he dropped in over 100 years? Checkmate
Jai Paul’s debut album leak is a wacky story, in the end it got an official release, just stripped of some samples that couldn’t be cleared (Ron’s Beat.)
To my knowledge most of the Detox leaks you can listen to are from around the 08'-11' era. (Topless, Die Hard, Shit Popped Off, Hey Young world, etc.) Anything that was intended for the inital 02' release is virtually non existant and I havent found many sources with concrete confirmation on potential tracks.
(I believe tracks that ended up on other albums such as Could've Been You, Drug Test, and The Recipie, were also intended for the 2010-2011release)
Yeah Drug Test was definitely intended for Detox
Im pretty sure 12 steps to recovery was from 2011 era ? not sure, there has also been some reference tracks recorded for dre like “This is Detox” by T.I & Kobe
"Get It" by Dr. Dre leaked within the last year featuring Sly Pyper that uses the same beat as 50 Cent - "50 For President" that was most definitely a Detox leak. Its funny cause on a forum I requested someone mashing up the 2 songs to sound like a Detox record & it ended up going viral. You can find multiple reuploads on UA-cam.
One album we'll never get is the debut by Meat Beat Manifesto. 'Storm The Studio' was nearly finished when the studio ended up burning down in a fire. Jack Dangers & co. managed to cobble together some different versions of their more well known singles from around that time and create a tribute to it under the same name. Then you got the 4th Prodigy album that left such a sore taste to Liam that he got rid of all the masters and started again from scratch... not before releasing its first single 'Baby's Got A Temper' that is, a song so divisive that it was left off of the band's singles compilation and reformatted into an EP.
ACTUALLY, armed audio warfare, which was released shortly after storm the studio as their second full length release, is intended to be a "recreation" of what they had in mind for the original storm the studio, although even then if you look at some of the singles and ep releases prior to the first and second album a lot of stuff and samples changed, so in a way yeah the original is truly forever lost
There’s an R&B artist called Nicole wray, and she debuted with an album in 98. It was produced by Timbaland and missy Elliot and it was great. She had a solid start and the album was succesful, and started recording a second album in 99-2000. The album was titled “elektric blue” and was supposed to release in 2001 by Electra records, and she even released a couple singles, one called “I’m lookin” and 2 promo singles called “mama used to say(Ft. Redman)” and “bangin”. The singles… well… they flopped and so Electra records decided to shelve the album. Electra shelved so many albums it’s insane, but at least the album leaked in very low quality but at least it leaked. Guess what, she then started recording a 3rd album called “lovechild” and it was supposed to be released in 2005. Again, she released a single called “if I was your girlfriend” but the album never was. We have many demos, she recorded around 45 songs and I wish it came out. Oh it also happened I think 2 other times to her lol
There's a infamous charli xcx's unreleased album called "XCX world" which mostly said that it is the best album of her and her producer, SOPHIE, and might change the perspective of pop music but it got leaked and the record dumped this album which disappointed everyone.
rip xcx world, rip sophie
Always good to see an upload!
As someone whos more of a pop listener, theres just as many unreleased pop albums, XCX world by Charli xcx, Lana Del Rey aka Lizzy Grant by lana del rey, Artpop 2 by lady gaga, Disco Sweat by Carly Rae Jepsen, another scrapped charli xcx punk album, several unreleased grimes projects, Problematique by kim petras, a lana del rey collaboration album with The Last Shadow Puppets and many more
There’s also Sirens for Lana
Yesss XCX World, Artpop Act 2 and Problematique r so good (wish more of Artpop 2 was leaked bc the snippets of Tea, Onion Girl and Ratchet sound sooo good)
Ive been waiting for the supposedly greatest Dre album!
I only imagine that David Bowie's Toy stayed unreleased for so long was because the executive with the final say on it shipping went into a shock coma upon seeing it's cover.
Some lost gorillaz albums: "Caurousel" was going to be gorillaz 3rd studio album but was scrapped for plastic beach. The fall was originally gonna be a punk album and plastic beach was originally gonna be split into 3 albums with 300 DEMOS recorded for the project. There was also planned to be a compilation album called "Sea sides" presumably with some of the scrapped songs, demos and remixes. While it hasn't been scrapped, rumours of song machine season 2 mostly stopped with cracker island being announced.
Gorillaz Sea Sides was a companion/bonus album for Plastic Beach. It had all sorts of goodies and even unreleased songs. The whole thing was leaked, but it’s never been officially released. There’s been all sorts of fan campaigns to save it.
YO! I didn't even notice the jet-set radio music in the background! very cool bro
My fav unreleased/lost album gotta be Cigarettes and Valentines by Green Day. I personally find it super elusive and from the snippets of the album, it's cool to hear what could've been released if American Idiot was never thought of
My most wanted unreleased album is joji's original 1st album titled "Chloe burbank" back in 2017ish i believe. There are 2 stories ive heard as to why the album was shelved: the 1st one is that joji was still making filthy frank and after making a video as joji talking to the fans, he got massive hate from his fanbase and it discouraged him from doing anything not frank related. The second one is that joji had uploaded a few songs to his soundcloud at the time and was generating some hype, but then quite a few songs got leaked and it frustrated him, causing him to shelve the project. Though never oficially releasing, there are various compilations on youtube that attempt to put the leaked songs in order. Its a great listen, i just wish it actually had come out
bros the scottwaz of modern hiphop new fave channel glad i found ...searched in best mixtapes and one of your vids popped up lol
In the peak of her career, Charli xcx had her 3rd studio album ready but then they was a bunch of drama and leaks and stuff, if you researched it i bet it could be a full segment
Jai Paul has a pretty interesting story/career as a musician! Released two demos back in 2010-2012 called BTSTU and Jasmine, which the former has been sampled by artists like Drake and Beyonce. Really blew up before he even released anything official. In 2013 someone leaked basically all the work he was working on for his debut album. Super rough and not finished. There's rumors on if it was him or the label, but according to him, the leak really made him lose interest and basically gave up on it. The album has it's high moments, and quite a bit of praise for being as unfinished as it is. He finally officially released it in 2019 but I don't think anything was any more finished than before. Just the demos from the original. Sad story since he started with so much traction. Never really came out with anything after that. I think he released a single in 2019 but that's it. All of this momentum just halted.
i was looking for a comment about this. i listen to the songs from bait ones a lot and i always wonder what could've been since i think he was pretty ahead of his time and would've loved to see how he wanted the album to actually turn out
It sucks that someone did that to him
I felt so bad for him
i love ya vids so much - they present a topic i'm really interested in in a really interesting format -
Same he has such a fun style, I love animation and music so the combo is perfect 🤍
Love this vid brah🔥
The emo/posthardcore band La Dispute released their fourth full length LP Panorama in 2019, 6 years after their 3rd, but what's interesting is that they had wrote and recorded an entire other album before hand. The band themselves were not confident that it would live up to their last 3 albums which all pushed them further creatively more each time. They scrapped the entire finished project, which was never seen and finished Panorama in record time (I think it was between 30 days and 3 months). I love Panorama but I am curious as to how the other album sounded.
Big respect to them for wanting to keep their quality up now I wanna check them out
@@-Teague-Start with Wildlife
@@CommanderWar64 is that their first album? I usually listen to artists in order
@@-Teague- it’s their second, the first one is fantastic too but just go into it knowing it’s a concept album based loosely on the story of Vega and Altair.
@@CommanderWar64 ok thanks sounds like the second one would be a better starter lol
Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and Maynard James Keenan (Tool) were set to do a project called "Tapeworm" in the 90's, at their height. Then, it came out as one song on a side project (A Perfect Circle), without Reznor.
...at least we got Barz Simpson as a track from DOOM?
Been waiting all evening for this
I think zombie circus by tyler, the creator would be an amazing example of lost albums
Yeah plus Wolf 2010 and dinosaur ep

Great video! Not an album per se, but one piece of unreleased music I'm surprised I haven't seen mentioned here in the comments yet (maybe for being too obvious) is Carnival of Light by the Beatles. Recorded during the Sgt Pepper sessions and described by members of the band as "a musical freak-out" it consisted of roughly 14 minutes of the band playing instruments and shouting at random, though occasionally playing something resembling conventional music. The song was only played publicly once at a sound rave (without any of the actual Beatles present) and Paul McCartney still has the tape that he's let a few people listen to in private; he apparently still wants to release it but the other band members/their estates have vetoed it over the years. Maybe someday we'll get to hear it, we got plenty of other unreleased stuff.
Still waiting on Sky Ferreiras sophomore album Masochism, as well as having multiple scrapped albums before her debut Night Time, My Time. We’ve had leaks of tracks and we’ve had her tease this record for YEARS
Still upset about how her career was treated, her official releases are great but the leaks are great too. Just imagine what was made & still not leaked yet.
I’m so sad we didn’t get it in 2022. Capitol Record sucks hard.
The Who were actually going to follow up their first rock opera, 'Tommy,' with another one titled: "Lifehouse." Long story short, the album was too ambitious for the group and they wanted to make a regular album, leading to the creation of probably the Who's most popular album, "Who's Next," which all songs on the album were actually made for 'Lifehouse.' The other material made for 'Lifehouse' was thankfully released as singles like: "Let's See Action", "Water", "Join Together", and "Relay", or was released on compilation albums.
Here's another one; The Move's original bassist, Ace Kefford, was kicked out of the group in 1968, due to a nervous breakdown during a package tour with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Amen Corner, the Nice, and the Pink Floyd, just to name a few. After the firing, Ace embarked on a solo album, featuring: Tony Visconti on production, and Jimmy Page on guitar. However, Ace suffered another nervous breakdown during the making of the album, causing him to walk out and the album being shelved. Fortunately, in 2003, the shelved material was released as, "Ace the Face," that also featured some songs from his other band called, "The Ace Kefford Stand." You can also find some demos by Ace on UA-cam if you look hard enough.
As for the Move, they reached #1 in the UK singles chart with 'Blackberry Way' (my personal favourite song by the group), replaced their lead singer, Carl Wayne, with Jeff Lynne from the Idle Race, and finally rebranded to the Electric Light Orchestra.
He's back!!!!
Keep up the good work man!
This is definitely an interesting topic to look into and/or cover
I found out about your channel just recently (to be exact like a couple days ago) and I'm so glad I found it. I love how you can be cheery, and overall pretty about one of the things that interests me most, music. I have felt like complete shit these last two years, and I'm glad that you can make videos that put a smile on my face. I doubt youll ever see this, but thank you for making these videos. :)
I know you briefly touched on Kanye’s album but I’d also add Turbo Grafx, Yeezus II, Good Ass Job. There’s so many gems from them
True, but I think there's a difference between "album that's made but never released for some reason" and "album that was planned but never even made" - Yandhi was substantially done (at least 50%) but Turbo Grafx and GAJ were little more than considered albums that never even got to take shape before Kanye decided to do something else.
@@saeedbaig4249 Wdym Yandhi was basically done, the only thing that stopped it from releasing was the fact that Kanye had his christian episode and he just turned it into christian rap you can play at the church
The Weeknd's unreleased stuff is really good. Not just the songs like the OG Crew Love and Enemy, but demo tracks that would later become songs we did get, such as parts of "Ivory" becoming the pre-chorus hook to Starboy, I Don't Need Love becoming Win My Love, which then became the premise for A Lonely Night, and so on. There's even that snippet "You know I love it when you're angry" which he'd previewed during the lead-up to Dawn FM's release, and we just kind of... never wound up getting it. Hopefully it, along with Take Me Back To LA and Hold Your Heart show up on his next project
This is ture
Hold Your Heart is so good man
JOHNNY HOBO AND THE FREIGHT TRAINS!!
"Love songs for the apocalypse"
One of the most raw albums ever and this guy didn't ever release it online and only made 1000 CD copy's .
He technically released it but everything was erased and only people re uploading it is up. It just now got out on Spotify because people kept putting it up without permission
The original master was just sold on eBay for $3,000
Wasn't expecting the Breaking Benjamin cameo at 13:09, but that's my favorite band, and I was really happy to see it.
Someone can probably write more on this than me but Jai Paul's demo tapes being stolen and then leaked following by him going silent for like a decade to then release the tapes on streaming is genuinely crazy
Detox by Dr Dre was one of the most popular unreleased albums to date with a bunch rap artists from back in the day. Wish he releases it one day.
Panic! at the Disco's 'Cricket and Clover' has always been one of my favorite unreleased albums out there. It was described as having no choruses and being almost like a movie score. Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz said that it sounded like "Beatles 2007" (whatever that means lmao). It was scraped for being too ambitious and was later replaced by 'Pretty. Odd.', their actual second album. However, parts of 'Cricket and Clover' have been repurposed, as seen with the song 'Nearly Witches (ever since we met...)' which was released first as a demo and then fully released on their third album 'Vices and Virtues'. The demo appeared on the 'CitizensFOB Mixtape: Welcome to the New Administration', but the band was labeled as 'The Paul Revere Jumpsuit Apparatus'. The song 'Folkin' Around' also takes its title from 'Cricket and Clover'. Unfortunately, there is one song that has never gotten a studio release or even a demo. That song is 'It's True Love', which was only played live one time in 2007. Besides that, the only other things released about this album have been some song titles. If you want to learn more about this album, I suggest watching this video: ua-cam.com/video/JmpIVaF7ajs/v-deo.html .
I believe that Jon Walker (Bassist at the time) said in a tweet that he had some demo tapes from Cricket And Clover
There's probably two or three unreleased My Bloody Valentine albums. They're notorious for scrapping their own material with Kevin's extreme perfectionism. There's also the lost Public Enemy album that got replaced by Apocalypse '91 (if I remember correctly)
The one album I really was excited for was puppy by brockhampton, I believe it would’ve been such a great release after the sat trilogy, and maybe would’ve kept the brockhampton hypetrain alive a little longer
I actually archived the only copy I could find of X Ambassadors' debut. Much like almost all of their work, their debut (Ambassadors EP) is extremely mid, but I still found it to be interesting that they took it down for basically no reason. The band was the second band I ever got into, so being fully engulfed in everything they have made is pretty cool. I uploaded the copies onto a channel called Randomdude9.
Happy New Year Small bites!
If you ever get around to that Wu Tang Clan video, have you considered doing a series of reviews for unreleased albums? Because I just finished Michelle Branch's West Coast Time, which could've been her 2010 album release if label politics didn't royally screw her over for almost a decade! I didn't even grow up to be an album person but I listened to it because I missed her so much and it's actually really good! I've also decided to make time to listen to other unreleased albums like Britney Spears's Original Doll or TWO (not even just one) of JoJo's albums.
Another famous unreleased album is Panic! at the Disco's 'Cricket and Clover' which was partly recorded in 2007 in a secluded cabin in the mountains. Unfortunately, the band members weren't inspired by what they came up with. Later in 2008, they returned, however, and rerecorded a couple of tracks from Cricket and Clover but mainly wrote new tracks. This led to them releasing 'Pretty. Odd.' in 2008.
There are tons of Cricket and Clover demo leaks, and there are a lot of similarities between Cricket.. and Pretty Odd.
Damn I love their first 2 albums, I never knew about this. I'm gonna have to check it out
YESSSSSSSSS, smallbites is backk
I REALLY LOVE lost stuff and also music. This was fun to watch!!!
I liked the video. Hope you do more in the future.
I don't remember it being mentioned but you def should have mentioned "Uncontrolled Substance" by Inspektah Deck. He was arguably the best lyricist in Wu Tang and RZA had been working on beats for his album around the same time he was working for everyone else in Wu Tang (Raekwon, GZA, Ghostface, etc). It potentially could have been the best Wu Tang release and another classic to add to the insane output they had in the mid-90s.......and then RZAs basement was flooded and all those beats and masters were lost forever. I know Deck eventually released his debut (under the same name) in 99, but it's pretty unanimously said by those who heard it that the OG 95 version was better.
Aphex Twin’s Phlegm EP from 1993 is a pretty interesting case of unreleased albums because although the songs were released on his later albums there was official cover art made that didn’t see light of day until more recently.
hi mr bites, you gotta do a video on the underground oh hiphop rn. i guess have a showcase on what it once was and transition into the sh*tshow it is now. have a happy new year
The band Chromatics was supposed to release their album 'Dear Tommy' back in 2014, but their frontman, Johnny Jewel, destroyed all physical copies of it and wanted to start the whole record from scratch, despite already teasing the album already with a few singles.
They eventually dropped another album in 2019 called Closer to Grey and eventually disbanded in 2021, but Dear Tommy still have not seen the light of day except for the few singles that were originally teased for it.
Woah, has it ever leaked?
I'm late, but if you ever make a part 2, definitely cover Madeon's EP Celine, aka 12122017. An EP he made in the span of a day out of pure anger in 2017 because music 'made him feel nothing' according to a note written on the album cover. The story of how it was found is wilder because in 2021, there was whole ARG where the goal was to find six passwords which were track names of the EP. Once found, they led to a vinyl order for the album, limited to 200 copies. And the reason it's so interesting is because it's a vast departure from his other work which is more upbeat.
Dude puts so much effort in his videos gotta sub
Jamiroquai's 1999 album "Synkronized" wasn't actually supposed to be the album it was. There was an album in the works names "Symphonized" but frontman Jay Kay had a falling out with bassist Stuart Zender, who I think wanted more credit for the songs, Zender got kicked out, and Jay destroyed the master tapes. They basically had an album in the bag, but they had to start over from scratch, probably because Jay Kay was being spiteful. A truly lost album. But then again, if we had gotten "Symphonized", we wouldn't have gotten "Synkronized". Either way we would have lost something.
I will never understand artists who legit destroy music they've made. I feel like they would at least want to keep it around for a compilation album later or to listen to themselves
They haven't been the dame since Stuart left. A few brilliant tracks here and there but nothing like the 1st 2 albums
FINALLY I MISSED U SO MUCH
The Jai Paul album is the quintessential unreleased album to me. I remember getting hold of the leaks and talking anyone who'd listens ears off until they agreed to give them a listen.
this was really interesting, his case was craaazy. It's similar to Bilal but he chose the latter and just stopped making music. solid pick~
It’s not really unreleased, but in 2011-2012, twenty one pilots had an album titled Regional at Best, but got taken down after getting signed by Fueled by Ramen. But on their next album, Vessel, they recreated some of the songs on Regional at Best and they made a bonus version with the rest of the songs on RaB only recreating one or two songs, but the bonus version is only available in the UK and Japan. You can still find tons of uploads on UA-cam of the album
One interesting thing I found out about 50’s Power of the Dollar album was that the original release date was all the way back in October 1999 (like 7 months before his shooting) and from what I saw on Discogs, promo CDs were already out. It seemed that the album was getting delayed here and there and then 50 getting shot was pretty much the nail in the coffin for that album.
Also I wouldn’t say the Exclusive Audio Footage streaming release is **official** per se, I think someone was just able to luckily get it through the system without any pushback, especially since Warner still owns the rights to that album (they’re the ones who officially released The Funeral onto streaming anyway).
While have being released, the Red Hot Chili Peppers had written multiple different songs for their album “The Getaway.” Once these songs were brought over to their new producer Danger Mouse, they reworked them into the songs off this album. None of the original songs have been released.
Same with the third Josh Klinghoffer album they were working before they decided to fired him and bring John Frusciante back.
Great video, liked it a lot
Glad to see you back smallbites
Finally. You’re talking about this!😊
Songs From the Black Hole by weezer never came out, but a lot of the songs are on Rivers' solo album or Pinkerton Deluxe. Weezer have a ton of songs and leaks, a lot of which were released on a weezer version of Spotify
Bae wake up only small bites uploaded 🔥🔥🔥
Weezer's Songs From The Black hole is one that's never officially been released, but there are plenty of fan recreations out there. Another lost one from the 90s indie rock scene is an early Jeff Mangum project (the singer, guitarist and songwriter of Neutral Milk Hotel) entitled Cranberry Life Cycle. The tapes still exist, they just need to be digitised. Also Jeff Buckley had another album in the works before he died. Most of it was finished, but he wasn't happy with it so he scrapped a lot of it.
One of my proudest accomplishments is getting a download of Since I Left You’s “Zomba Promo” version
0:25, loved the cypress hill citation
while it isnt really "lost", the story of Panchiko's "DEATHMETAL" is so interesting to me. other shoutouts to albums like turbografx 16, wolf (2010), gluee 2 and so on
gluee 2?
@@sl3nd3rb0t yes gluee 2
The panchiko story is fake

The rabbit hole that is "call on me" by eric prydz is interesting, apparently starting as a song by thomas ba- the silver guy from daft punk.
