Beck - Bogusflow - Non-Album Tracks (1994)

There's so many stray Beck tracks to sort out that it's kind of crazy.

That's especially true for 1994, the year of his breakthrough single "Loser." I've already posted an album of B-sides to "Mellow Gold." Plus, there's "Mellow Gold" itself, "Stereopathic Soul Manure,"  "One Foot in the Grave," and enough bonus tracks to "One Foot in the Grave" for another album just as long. That's the equal of five albums of nearly all original songs released in a single year!

And yet, that's not all. Here's an album of stray acoustic songs, all of them originals not on any of his other albums. I think it makes for solid album.

But even that isn't all, because I have still more 1994 songs from him that I'll post later (based on some KCRW radio appearances). Has any musician ever come out with more songs in a single year than Beck in 1994?

And even that isn't the end of it, because he's written still more songs that he's never released or played in concert (or been bootlegged). For instance, at one point he announced plans to released a follow-up album to "One Foot in the Grave" of more songs from 1994 and maybe 1995, but then cancelled the release.

Note that only four of the 14 songs on this album have been officially released in any form. We're lucky that Beck did a lot of radio appearances and concerts in 1994 where he was testing out new material.

The cover art is based on the cover of his "Pay No Mind" single. I removed the text from the bottom of the cover and replaced that with an image of the word "Bogusflow" taken from an early Beck cassette tape label, written in his handwriting.
