Great Albums cobbled together from leftovers from previous album sessions

What are some good albums put together from leftovers from previous album sessions but still came out great! It has to be marketed as a “new” album and not an archive release...

I’ll start with the Stones Tattoo You

 

They should have done this again with the recently overdubbed bonus tracks.

 

The second set Elvis issued were as good as the first

 

Bootleg series 1-3 by Bob Dylan is better than most other artists greatest hits

 

Yeah but it wasn’t marketed as a new album

 

Amnesiac is the Chinese food of leftovers. You could argue it’s better the second time

 

Physical Graffiti

 

Van Morrison - "The Philosopher's Stone"

 

Only half the album was actual "leftovers," but still.... My favorite by a mile....

 

I forgot to read the prompt. I was too excited

 

Not a great album perhaps, but Zooropa?

 

I'm tempted to name an album, but I'll just let it be.

 

~"Milk & Honey"- John Lennon & Yoko Ono

 

Was thinking the same of Pipes Of Peace

 

Definitely not a classic, but the Monkees' Instant Replay has its moments.

 

Tom Waits - Orphans - a combination of odds and sods and new songs so it sort of fits. My favourite Waits too.

 

Stevie Ray Vaughan - The Sky Is Crying
It's better than Soul to Soul

 

So, Townshend's Scoop albums probably fit this category.

 

These tracks aren't really from previous album sessions as much as from the same broad session that was intended to create multiple albums.

 

The U.S. Capitol Beatles albums come to mind

 

James - Wah Wah

 

Beach Boys - 20/20 is about 50/50

 

This and other jazz albums:

 

That was supposed to be a fully-realized album. It wasn't technically "leftovers" as much as it was left unfinished due to John's passing, but it was cobbled together, I agree.

I like American Stars N Bars a lot
