Most of the band's unreleased songs predate ...Is a Real Boy. Along with the band's demos and other above-listed songs, they are available to download from the band's online forum.[12] [13]
Most of Say Anything's unreleased songs from the set of tracks known as Dormroom Demos, were recorded by Max Bemis in his dorm room while at Sarah Lawrence College.[14] [15] [16]
† Released as part of Menorah/Majora
‡ Released as part of Menorah/Majora and ...Is a Real Boy, the latter as a rerecording
The songs that would eventually make up ...Was a Real Boy were originally slated for release as a benefit album entitled Say Anything vs. AIDS, the proceeds from which would, appropriately enough, go to support AIDS research.[17] The songs differ from their commercially released counterparts in that they had yet to be properly mastered, and that the titles for many songs were different. One song does not appear on the commercial release.
