Even though there had been enough left-over music from the 'Urban Hymns' sessions to provide b-sides for all the singles taken from it (see previous post), back in 2017 some additional songs that weren't included in the deluxe 20th anniversary edition of 'Urban Hymns' made their way onto YouTube. All of the tracks (uploaded between September 2nd - 5th 2017) appear to have been recorded during the same sessions that resulted in 'Urban Hymns', and it was speculated that one of the band members didn't want them included. A note on one of the video's descriptions stated that the uploader 'got this a while back from a friend who works at distribution at UMC', the label that put out the reissue. There were 11 songs in total, many of them long-speculated unreleased songs including 'All Ways Are Maybes', 'Wednesday Madness', 'Jalfrezi', 'Original Insanity', 'King Riff 2', 'Tina Turner', and 'Sweet & Sour'. There’s also a studio version of 'Oh Sister', and alternate mixes and early demos of 'This Time', 'Neon Wilderness', and 'Sonnet'. I grabbed them as soon as I saw them, although I believe that they are still up on Youtube, but here they are compiled into an album for your listening pleasure.
