So I was just on YouTube, listening to a couple of songs I don't have in my iTunes (such as Lost Love and a couple of other b-sides), and I found myself wondering how deep Meat's vault is in regards to unreleased songs. I know there are artists who have released albums dedicated towards giving songs that never saw the light of day (such as Bon Jovi's "1mil Fans Can't Be Wrong" or Bruce Springsteen's "Tracks") to the world, but when I put that into context with Meat, I realised that I really just don't know enough about the song selection and recording process Meat goes through to know if something like this is realistic. I mean...
How many songs are considered when constructing an album? Are they all fully composed, or are they just ideas with the best ones being realised into the pieces we know? Are they all
recorded, finalised or not, or were the b-sides released at the time of their album all there is? Are the original demos of songs kept / do they still exist? Were those demos recorded at a high enough standard that they could potentially see a release one day?
That's where I hit a brick wall when speculating. I doubt there's anyone here who could confirm anything beside Meat or Paul, but I thought there might be interviews he's commented in that are relevant, or articles, or whatever, that someone might be knowledgeable of. I'm sure it's been discussed before, but would anyone have any idea if a release like this is potentially possible?
What's in the vault?
