Favorite Unreleased songs

[Smiddle]

Since when did itget possible to listen to unreleased songs

[Big Spoon]

It's not against the rules to go to concerts where Al plays unreleased songs.

[weird user]

I don't think I've heard any of Al's unreleased songs, except for a bit of Belvedere Cruisin' in Behind the Music. I don't know if School Cafeteria, Take Me Down, Headline News, The Theme from Spy Hard, or Polkamon count as unreleased, since those were technically released on albums, just not full Al studio albums.

Oh, wait, I've heard You're Pitiful. That's a great song.

[TheLazenby]

Weird User, get your hands on a copy of "The Ultimate Collection" 5-disc set... that'll cover most of the unreleased songs.

(OR, private message me and I'll give you "Greetings From Burgeropolis", which covers a few songs that Ultimate Collection doesn't.)

[Grom]

Or do both!

[NerdyNyara27]

What is this "Ultimate Collection" of which you speak?

- Laurel -

[Al's #27 fan]

It was compiled by a guy named Michael Lestatkatt. It has basically all of the rarities that are in circulation right now. And I think it's six discs now... But anyway, the way it works is that you send him six discs and a self-addressed return envelope, and then he'll burn the CD's and send them back to you.

I have it, and I'd really suggest it to anyone interested in rarities.

You can contact Lestatkatt at [email protected].

[Grom]

I managed to get it from a torrent site, which Lestatkatt said he was fine with, according to previous discussion of the collection on here.

[HAAS]

Does anyone know the tracklists for the 6 discs for the Ultimate Collection?
