Scrapped/Lost Recordings

This is a list of Jeff Rosenstock releases which have either been scrapped, unreleased, or lost. A lot of planned releases ended up getting scrapped and put onto albums, or just generally never seeing the light of day.

## Arrogant Sons of Bitches Demo Tape

The first recording ever done by ASOB, and it was never released and nothing from the recording set has ever come around. Considering how old the recording is, it's likely that we will never see this tape resurface.

## Greatest Hits Tape

A tape recorded soon after the original demo tape which featured songs from it as well as new songs such as "Rusty Nailz and a Bottle of Coke" and "Pubert". It was made for a local church's Rockfest and was shown off and hated by the people there. The teacher who it was shown off to destroyed the tape and said the band would not be allowed to come back.

## Built to Fail 2

A re-recorded version of Built to Fail done in 2002. It's said to have sounded better than the original but despite that it never got a release and seems to be lost for now.

## John Starks: Motherfucker

A planned 'mini-punk-rock-opera' based on The New York Knicks losing in the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals. The introduction was meant to the Happy Anterrabae Day and also included the song I'm a Panic Bomb, Baby. Based on the description it likely would have been an EP and would have been released somewhere around Album Minus Band and To Leave or Die in Long Island.

## Unnamed Concept Tape

An unnamed concept album that would have been a sort of ARG, with Jeff claiming to have found the tape on the beach. The tape would have been "left behind by a cruise ship after it was shot down by a russian submarine in international waters during the cold war." It was scrapped but the idea of it partially ended up on The King of Minneapolis, which was originally part of the tape. The tape also contained Grudge Report, Sorry Brooklyn, and Tell My Boss I Hate You. It likely would have been released around or instead of Goodbye Cool World.

## The World Sucks and I Know Nothing

A planned EP to come out after Goodbye Cool World. It's described as a political EP and would have been recorded with Sean Qualls and would have been recorded in a real studio. The only song that came from the sessions is This is a Singalong, which would later be rerecorded for the O Pioneers Split.

## No No New York

Another planned EP after Goodbye Cool World. It contained the song The Soulcrushing Northeast which is the only surviving recording from this release. Another song called 'No No New York' was recorded but was never released or had anything done with it.

## We Versus The Shark Split

A planned split 7" release with We Versus The Shark. It was meant to have each band cover one of the other bands songs, with BTMI covering Slide from the album Ruin Everything and WVTS doing a cover of Sweet Home Cananada. The idea came up after BTMI did a cover of This Graceless Planet and played it on tour, which is the only song that got released relating to this split. More splits were planned with other bands they toured with but didn't end up being made either.

## I Always Dread The End Of Summer

A planned EP to come out sometime before I Look Like Shit. Some of the songs from that album would have been on this EP, but it's not known which ones. There is also a song from Summer called I Always Dread The End Of Summer which was likely also a song from here.

## I'm Serious, I'm Sorry

Another planned project before I Look Like Shit. It would have been slower than the previous record, meaning it's likely songs like Snow Charges or Amen would have been a part of it. It also seems like the song I'm Serious, I'm Sorry came from this record as well.
