Recently, there's been:
Six By Seven Left Luggage at the Peveril Hotel
Masha Qrella Unsolved Remained

I avoided these for years, assuming they weren't "proper":
The Posies Frosting on the Beater
Third Eye Foundation Little Lost Souls

So, let's list some albums...

"Good Vibrations" notwithstanding, "Smiley Smile".

Sparkle, are you saying that, in the case of Smiley Smile, the title of the album itself suggests that it's a compilation of leftovers (what I'm asking for), or that the music sounds like that?

oh wait i misread the thread title. i thought this was for albums that sound like b-side collections but aren't.

I don't think you're the first, Cutty. I might have posed it better.

Coming soon: Thread titles that sound like they're asking about the sound of the music on albums but aren't!

My Bloody Valentine, Isn't Anything

also, I'm eternally confused which Belle & Sebastian albums are b-sides compilations or studio LPs......

there is technically only one B&S b-sides album, and it only came out this week:

those are not b-sides, those are eps.

Oh snap-- count me among those who misread the thread title.

Billy Joel - Songs in the Attic

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Friday, 27 May 2005 02:17 (twenty-one years ago)

but songs in the attic WAS a rarities collection, more or less -- a live album of non-hits.

Rare Stamps - Johnnie Taylor
The Worst of Jefferson Airplane

These actually ARE comps...Rare Stamps was part of a series that Stax had (the others were Eddie Floyd and a split LP with J.J. Barnes & Steve Mancha).

New Pornographers-Challengers
Phil Ochs-Greatest Hits (AKA "50 Phil Ochs Fans Can't Be Wrong")

― C. Grisso/McCain, Thursday, 31 January 2008 15:55 (eighteen years ago)

xp The Worst Of is a greatest hits comp tho, not a rarities collection ...

― dad a, Thursday, 31 January 2008 16:17 (eighteen years ago)

Ah, ok, I misunderstood, re: Jefferson Airplane.

I guess you can call Johnnie Taylor's Rare Stamps a rarities comp, as it has his bluesier Stax sides from when they were still distributed by Atlantic.
