I was just listening to some Del Amitri and wondering just how many 
unreleased songs are still sitting around somewhere.  Justin usually claims 
to have written upwards of 30 songs per album.  At least with the first few 
albums we could see where all the extra songs ended up - as b-sides we could 
acquire.  But often we're left longing for songs they played live and never 
released:  Drowned On Dry Land, Everyone Knows It's You, Waking Up, The 
Cringe, etc.

I would kill (or at least maim) for studio versions (or decent live 
recordings) of those songs!

One of my other favorite artists, Peter Himmelman, started releasing a series 
of CD's "From The Himmelvaults" comprised of demos, alternate versions, live 
songs, weird little improv things, and lost songs that never made it onto an 
album.  He sells them through his website and at shows.  Now that the boys 
are free from Mercury's shackles, perhaps this is something they might 
consider doing.
