Note: I have moved all the videos to a separate videography page.
I have also removed information about bootlegs from this discography.
The bootleg scene has changed a lot since I originally started collecting.
Now anybody with access to a CD-R drive can make their own "bootleg" CDs.
As a consequence, hard to find true silver CD bootlegs with color printed
inserts have all but disappeared and have been replaced by a proliferation
of cheap CD-Rs with photocopied inserts. I'll leave the bootleg discography
to another collector.

Advance release CD has different titles on some of the tracks
The version of 7 Ways to Sunday on the advance promo is not the same as the final album version. There are quite a few differences including the verses,
backing vocals, intro and outro of the track.
The Old School Off the Bright is pretty much the same song that is included with Fabled Barney and the
Population but it is a different recording. The trombone solos that Chris plays are different between the two as well.
Includes "Drunks & Children", "Ugly", "The Cave".
These are the original recordings. Though the mastering sounds better on this disc,
"Drunks & Children" is the same as "Drums and Chicken" on Mashin up The Nation and
"The Cave" is the same as on Ska-ville USA Vol. 2.

this list, by all means, let me know. I'll add your name to the thank
