Then: The Earlier Years

***Then: The Earlier Years*** ay isang dobleng pagsasama ng album ng banda na They Might Be Giants, na inilabas noong 1997. Ang *Then* ay naglalaman ng album na *Lincoln* sa kabuuan nito, ang mga album na *They Might Be Giants* at *Miscellaneous T* na bawat isa ay nawawala ang isang track, ang ilang kung hindi man ay hindi pinag-aralan ang mga kanta mula sa kanilang *1985 Demo Tape* at iba pang mga kanta na dati nang hindi na-rate. Ang kanta na nawawala mula sa Miscellaneous T ay "(She Was a) Hotel Detective (Single Mix)" at ang awit na nawawala mula ng *They Might Be Giants* ay ang bersyon ng album na "Don't Let's Start", dahil napalitan ito ng angkop na lugar sa listahan ng track ng iisang bersyon ng parehong kanta mula sa *Miscellaneous T*. Ang sanggunian na "We're The Replacements" ay tumutukoy sa kahaliliang bandang pang-rock ng parehong pangalan.

Nagbebenta rin ang They Might Be Giants Online Store ng mga non *They Might Be Giants* at *Lincoln* na magkahiwalay, sa dalawang bahagi na pinamagatang *Giants Jubilee* at *Mightathon*. Ang mga album na ito ay isang beses na ibinebenta nang hiwalay, ngunit ang buong album ay karaniwang magagamit para sa pagbebenta nang awtomatiko.

Ang compilation *Best of the Early Years* ay epektibong isang mabibigat na bersyon ng paglabas na ito (isang solong disc at 10 track lamang).
