Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day

Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day is an album by Frank Black and the Catholics, recorded in 2000. Because Black was not completely happy with the recording sessions, he decided against a commercial release. However, he did hand out several copies of the album at shows, which fans uploaded to the internet.[1] Several tracks were later used as B-sides or rerecorded for the albums Devil's Workshop (2002), Black Letter Days (2002) and Honeycomb (2005).[2][3][4]

Background

Frank Black told Magnet magazine in 2002: "We made a record that ended up on the Internet called Sunday Mill Valley Groove Day, and it was just an OK session but in general it was not an album, so we didn’t release it as an album. I had a few copies of it in my pocket and I was on tour and a couple of super-excited kids who seemed like they deserved something special happened to be there and I said, "Here you go," and they posted it, like, the next day. I didn’t ask my audience to buy it. It’s a freebie, I’m not going to sell it."[2]

gollark: Yes, probably 10-20% or so.
