Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before is a compilation album by Barenaked Ladies which includes rare recordings dating between 1992 and 2003. The album was originally planned as a companion to Hits from Yesterday & the Day Before; however, the release was pushed back to 8 May 2012, making it a standalone release. The 12-track album [2] contains ten never-before-released tracks, as well as two previously released rarities.[1] The album was released by Rhino Records[1]
Album contents
Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before contains 12 songs spanning 1992 to 2003.[1] It contains four final studio recordings (B-sides not included on albums), three live recordings, three demos, an "outtake" and a remix.[1]
Two tracks ("One Week" (Pull's Break Remix) and "Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!") were previously released as B-sides on singles.[1] "I Don't Get It Anymore" is the only final studio recording included for which the song was not later re-recorded and released on an album. "Second Best" appears on Everything To Everyone, and "Adrift", "Half A Heart" and "I Can, I Will, I Do" were subsequently re-recorded for Barenaked Ladies Are Me/Men.[1]
Much of the material on Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before dates to the band's Reprise period. Four tracks come from 2003's Everything to Everyone , two more come from the sessions for 2001's Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits (1991-2001),[1] and one track comes from the sessions of 2000's "Maroon". The remaining tracks include three live recordings from 1992 to 1994, a demo of The Old Apartment and "One Week" (Pull's Break Remix).
Early live recordings include "Same Thing" (1992), "Teenage Wasteland" (1993), and "Shake Your Rump" (1994), a cover of a Beastie Boys song.
