Recordings (album)

Recordings is a compilation album by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, first released in May 2001. It is a collection of b-sides from the Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun album's recording sessions. It is notable that two songs from these eras, titled: "I Fail" and "Novak", were excluded from this release. The former was an unreleased song from the Stupid Dream sessions which was present on a rare 1997 release titled "Demo"; a compilation composed of demos from Stupid Dream which was made to promote the album. The latter was an instrumental b-side from Lightbulb Sun sessions, which was released on the vinyl edition of the Shesmovedon single. Recordings was originally a limited release, limited to only 20,000 copies worldwide. It was later reissued on CD in September, 2010, and as double vinyl (2000 copies only) in January, 2011.
