** It was released in February 2010, and the title is ''Heligoland''.
* The worst case ever is ''Smile'', which was supposed to be a [[Beach Boys]] album back in 1967. Band leader Brian Wilson re-recorded and released it 37 years later, in 2004. What truly makes this sad is the reason it never came out: Brian Wilson suffered a [[Creator Breakdown]] of epic proportions and allegedly deleted the original masters before sinking into a fog of mental illness for years.
** But that was just a lie. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|2011 saw the release of ''The Smile Sessions'', a recreation of ''Smile'' using all the material recorded back in 1967.]] It's a It was released in many formats, including a two disc set and a five disc box set, [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition|among other things.]] The box set features over 5 hours of session material, most of which have never seen the light of day.
* Shortly after releasing ''[[Tommy]]'', [[The Who]] began working on an epic followup to be entitled ''Lifehouse'', which would have been accompanied by a film and a series of experimental concerts involving using the vital statistics of audience members to produce synthesizer tracks. The project fell apart and most of the songs were released on the ''Who's Next'' and ''Who Are You'' albums. Pete Townshend ultimately released ''Lifehouse'' in 2000 as a six-disc solo album and a radio play for the BBC, and the synthesizer concept found its way onto the web in 2007.
** The album that became The Who's ''Endless Wire'' was announced in 1999 and hit the shelves in 2006, its release having been delayed by touring, Townshend's putting the finishing touches on ''Lifehouse'', and the death of John Entwistle. Two "preview" tracks were released on a compilation album in 2003 - neither made it onto the final album.
