Spending time w the Warsaw record today - one of the all time greats imo… got me thinking of great recordings never released at the time, but posthumously great - Misfits Static Age also springs to mind. First Blaze Foley in a roundabout way too…
Watcha got?

Both of those records (Warsaw, Static Age) are great. Off the top of my head, I'll add:

Unwound's self titled; released in 1995. It was recorded in 1992 with B Sandeno on drums. But in 1995 the band still existed.
Circus Lupus first demo session at Inner Ear with Eli Janney dates from 1990 and has been released this summer.

I don't think the second Dukes of Nothing album (working title Boston) ever got a release. Great record. To be fair though this thread can be closed with Tape Loop Orchestra's The Killian Tapes - got turned onto this by a good friend years back and it's just brilliant.

Static Age was released in 1996. It was recorded in 1978, but it was finally released. No?

I don't think the thread title is exactly correct. The OP did say that these are albums that were "never released at the time" (i.e., not released in a reasonably expected timeframe) and then gave examples of records that were eventually released. So I interpreted it that way.

Oh, right. I missed that part.

Ah right. I was going strictly for never released.

Along those lines the Coffin Pricks album was just released this year, when the band was only active around 2012-ish.
