Lana Del Rey - Hundred Dollar Bill (2009)

By the time that she released her debut album, Lana Del Rey had recorded over 100 songs, and when they eventually leaked online around 2014 the total had grown to over 200. Some of these, such as 'Serial Killer' and 'You Can Be The Boss', were performed live even though they could not be bought by her fans, and of those 200 songs, only eleven have later turned up on her albums, although she has also repurposed some of them for film soundtracks, including 'Elvis' for 'The King' in 2018, 'Life Is Beautiful' for 'The Age Of Adaline' in 2015, and 'I Can Fly' for 2014's 'Big Eyes'. Despite stating during a 2017 show that she intends to release a collection of 25 of her favourite leaked songs, this has so far failed to appear, so it has been up to the fans to put together playlists of her unreleased music. There have been many of these published on the Lanaboards forum over the years, and many of them have been compiled as concept album or themed collections, but for the rest of these posts I will be compiling them chronologically, starting with 15 tracks that were recorded in 2009, before the release of the 'Lana Del Ray' album, and which were probably out-takes from the sessions for that record that didn't make the final cut.
