Unreleased albums from the 80's and 90's...

[G.I.Jim]

I've just been sitting here thinking about this tonight, and I wonder... Chicago just released "Stone of Sisyphus" last year, which they recorded (I think in '94). Mr Mister is getting ready to release "Pull" which they recorded in '89, and it was never released. Bad English recorded "The Lost Tapes (unofficial title)", and it's never been released. Many of these bands had entire albums recorded in the late 80's/early 90's, and the record labels dropped them like they were hot potatoes so that they could sign grunge acts.

It just makes me wonder how many other albums were shelved after they were recorded, that we've never even heard? Anyone know of any others?

Danger Danger - Cockroach
Alias - Never Say Never

Never been a big Danger Danger fan with the exception of 1 song (can't recall the title). Alias was an awesome band. Did they ever release that album? I don't own any of theirs, so I don't know their catalog.

Are these albums that have since been released, or they've never been released?

Boston has not, although individual songs have ended up on other things
Danger Danger was released in 2000, but recorded in '93(?)...

I need to pick up some Alias albums. I seem to remember the "Wicked Lester" album. I'll have to check it out on Youtube. Thanks!

There's only 2 Alias albums as is. The self-titled debut, and the Never Say Never unreleased-until-recently album. Also the Freddy Curci solo album Dreamer's Road from 1994ish, which is a bit lighter, but had some of the songs from the then-unreleased Alias album re-recorded.

Bad English recorded "The Lost Tapes (unofficial title)", and it's never been released.

considering the band broke up before the 2nd album was even released, I doubt the Lost Tapes was even designated as an album. Probably more a collection of BE demos and John Waite solo demos.

It just makes me wonder how many other albums were shelved after they were recorded, that we've never even heard? Anyone know of any others?

The couple more I can think of are...

Steve Perry - Against the Wall -- have we heard all the songs from this yet? No surprise it wasn't released, however.
The View (mid 80s Kevin Chalfant prior to The Storm) .... later released as The VU.

"Stone of Sisyphus"

Sounds like an STD.

Hey S2M, check this out... It's a newer Aldo Nova song that I've never heard. Don't know if you're a fan or not, but this one sounds good!

I would love to hear the Boston stuff, especially if Delp's vocals are on it.

I agree! They weren't my favorite band, but definitely had some great songs.

I said NEWER homo! Everything else I've heard from him was very early 80's.

Was going to add this one and also the great self titled album by Riggs.

The one unreleased album that sparks my interest is Lita Ford "The Bride Wore Black." This was to be her third album on her first record label, but she was dropped and the album was shelved.

Seal - Togetherland. It was 99 I think it was written, for release in early 2000s, I think. Togetherland was done but was scratched by Seal, so he said. Other remarks are the label didn't like it, wanted something more commercial since Human Being, his last album, underperformed. So he reunited with Trevor Horn and put out Seal IV, which I adore. But they keep Togetherland under lock and key. Too bad because the intro samples of all the songs I love. I doubt it will ever see the light of day or be leaked.

Sample of all the songs off the album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx52K_0zuS0

The 'Someday' video is part 2 to 'Medicine Man'.

Bad English recorded "The Lost Tapes (unofficial title)"

Can't believe the myth of this album still exists. There is NO third album or even set of demos....it's all JohN Waite solo demos. Only a few Bad English related tunes.

[jestor92]

The Styx album with Glen Burtnik that was canned after Edge of The Century.

Ahh, the purported "Son Of Edge." Glen and Dennis did "All For Love" in concert, which was an unreleased song that was to be on that album before they got dropped by A&M. Other songs were re-worked and used later either by Dennis or Glen

Well I've got it, and it sounds like Bad English to me. Guess I was told wrong, but it sounds like them just the same.
