Albums With Bonus Records

Aimee Mann’s Charmer lp came with an extra 7”

 

The reissue of Come’s 11:11 (1992) has a bonus 7 inch

 

This thread got me thinking- I’m trying to think of an album that has a gatefold with a pocket for the 7” on the inside of the sleeve. Sure I’ve seen one.

There’s a LP with CD pocket (Love Letters by Metronomy) and a 7” with space for the CD (Make It Wit’chu by Queens Of The Stone Age) but a LP with 7” storage? I’m stumped.

 

I didn't know about it until the cd age, but Help Yourself's final album "The Return of Ken Whaley" included another entire album "Happy Daze", which was intended to be a memento of a stage show various members had been involved in. I'm kinda fuzzy on remembering so feel free to correct!

 

Similarly, this Bloom County collection by Berkeley Breathed came with a “double-A side” FlexiDisc from the “band”
Billy and the Boingers Bootleg - Wikipedia

 

In fact I think the BeBop Deluxe album was always envisaged as a ‘LP plus EP’ package (rather than the EP being a limited edition bonus item)
Like a double album, but with the second record as a 7”.
The LP rear sleeve artwork lists the EP tracks and describes them as being ‘side 3’ and ‘side 4’ I think... (my copy is not to hand right now)

 

A few Bill Nelson albums had bonus records. Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam had a record of instrumentals titled Sounding the Ritual Echo.

 

The first UK issue had a bonus 7".

 

The first pressing Jethro Tulls Catfish rising had a bonus 12" single with White Innocence, Sleeping with the dog and When Jesus came to play, the "Bonus"-tracks on the CD

 

Indeed. I think you're right, my copy isn't to hand either but I seem to remember the same

 

The first edition included a bonus seven-inch pairing "Haunt You Down" and "Jam Kids."

 

The Fall's The Frenz Experiment came with a free 7" containing Bremen Nacht Run Out and Mark'll Sink Us

 

Somebody probably mentioned these already but...

The U.K. version of Elvis Costello & The Attractions ‘This Year’s Model’ had the bonus 45 of ‘Stranger In The House’ backed with ‘Neat Neat Neat’.

The Clash told CBS that the second disc of ‘London Calling’ was going to be an EP. They lied to keep the price down!

 

"Signing Off" came with a 12 inch "Madame Medusa"/"Strange Fruit"/"Reefer Madness" (my favourite UB40 track)
"Present Arms" came with a 12 inch in some countries and a 7 inch in some other countries of "Dr X"/"Don't walk on the grass"

 

3 LP Set comes with bonus 7inch. Great album!

 

Singles collection "All Wrapped Up" by the Undertones initially came with a free album containing all the b-sides!

Spiritualized's "Lazer Guided Melodies" came with a 7” featuring ‘Anyway That You Want Me’ and ‘Why Don’t You Smile Now’.

The deluxe edition of Arctic Monkeys' "AM" had an exclusive 7" with 2 non-LP tracks '2013' & 'Stop The World'. (B-sides from singles 'Do I Wanna Know?' & 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?)

 

What is Beat by The Beat came with a free album of extended remixes.

As it Happens by Dr Feelgood came with a free single with 4 extra tracks.

All of Europe I think. The first 1982 pressing anyway. Also has a huge poster inside of hundreds of on and off stage photos of the band on various tours.

 

A couple more surf records from Capitol: "Surf Route 101" and "Surfink!".

 

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Couldn't stand the weather. Mov.edition
Extra side's 3&4 12" with bonus tracks not mentioned on the cover .

 

Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life has a pocket for the enclosed 7" record.

 

Didn't a Super Furry Animals album come with a bonus single that was hidden inside the gatefold (which was glued shut)?

 

The UK pressing of Rockpile's 'Seconds Of Pleasure' LP has a slot cut in to the front cover to house the bonus 'Nick Lowe & Dave Edmunds Sing The Everly Brothers' EP

Rockpile - Seconds Of Pleasure

 

First Barnes & Noble vinyl pressings of The Monkees 2016 album ‘Good Times’ came with a single featuring two non-album tracks.

 

I was very happy that the used copy of Ian Dury's Do It Yourself I found came with the single Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick.

The latest Drive-By Truckers album came with a single of Kinky Hypocrite.
