Not much is known about the contents of the lost 'Four Track Mind' tape that was mentioned as possibly being part of the Demolition album series (including possibly the Exile on Franklin Street disc, as well) in its early stages in 2002. There was only a Ryan Message Board post: "i destroyed the four track mind masters in a guinness/painkillers accident that was actually worth it for the laughs." (---Answering Bell, our first resource)
In Sept. 2021, RA shared an old 4-track recording ('from the Heartbreaker era') of the Rolling Stones' "Play with Fire" recorded with Gillian Welch-- in response to their drummer Charlie Watts's death. Another song, "Like the Lies She Tells to Me", was also included in the post (if memory serves).
In 2023, Ryan reportedly 'found a tape with sixteen 4-track masters going back to Heartbreaker. Ryan also had teased a similar collection (4-track recordings up 'til 2005 including "Now That You're Gone" and "If I'm a Stranger") back in 2007 as a 'bonus disc' included with the 20:20 boxed set (cancelled as well as the compilation with old and unreleased stuff proposed as 'an alternative') that Lost Highway would subsequently shelve (to release him from his contract) and instead, release Cardinology.
As of late 2025, it's believed RA has sold his music to a private buyer. What that means for any of the unreleased albums---who knows?
 |
| The 'finished' version of COMMERCIAL SUICIDE (as RA now calls it) includes a 16-piece string section with parts arranged by Ryan Adams. Also features drummer Brad Pemberton overdubbed with bass guitar. The finished mix also includes different songs including "Fix It" (piano version). The current 21-song promo 2CD has been circulating for years--but it only features RA in an acoustic session with support from the late, great Bucky Baxter singing harmony and playing slide guitar, etc. |

Outtakes include "Fool's Gold", "From You to Me", "She Wants to Play a Game of Hearts", "Cry On Demand" and "Off Broadway"---as well as "Mara Lisa" and "Dear Chicago" (originally intended to close Heartbreaker).
I left off "Tina Toledo's Street Walking Blues" and "Sylvia Plath". "Enemy Fire" & "Answering Bell" I added to my alt versions of the Pinkhearts album and Demolition, respectively. |

| Compilation of the two sessions with additional recording(?) with Scott Litt in 2002 session. The album was to be titled (at one point) 'Let It B-Minus' (an homage to The Replacements) and released in mid-2002. Outtakes include instrumental tracks to "Blowin' the Coug", "On My Way", "Testy, Testy" and an earlier take of "Enemy Fire"; an RHCP parody ("Around the World"/ Under the Bridge") as well as the Stones homage "Saturday Night" (diff song than Darkbreaker track), "Everybody's Talking 'Bout Shania Twain", "Game Over" (early version of "Interstellar Collider" / "Still Waiting on You"). This info came from a RS article circa-summer 2001 where DRA is laying down vocals to "Nuclear" and the band is struggling with recording the song ("Game Over"). Ryan announces he "had a dream about 'some chick being like this....interstellar collider'." He then proceeds to lay down the vocals with the newly inspired lyrics. The engineer tells Ryan the pitch on the vocal sounds funny--to which RA replies "Fuck pitch--I'm not playing baseball here!" |

| According to DRA the finished mastered version was ready to go (as of 2007) and has tracks not available on the '48 Hours' promo CD. Because Universal still owns the released recordings (i.e. the 2002 Demolition comp)--the proposed unreleased albums (in particular 48 HOURS and 'The Suicide Handbook') were essentially bootlegged by his own label! Promotional CDs with the unfinished session were sent out by Lost Highway--and those promo CDs have been pirated by everybody, lol. Unfortunately, this has 'diminished' the value of selling the albums--because they would be incomplete. Since leaving Lost Highway in 2009, RA retained all the unreleased masters to release at his own discretion. So we're probably fucked, lol. At this rate--I think Blackhole and possibly a compilation of 4-track demos ("going back to Heartbreaker era up 'til 2005") is probably the most we can expect from any Lost Highway era archival releases in the future. |

| Based on a track listing from a 10-song promo disc. 19 songs were recorded; but DRA says it was mostly scrapped. They finished up work on the 'Pinkhearts' record (includes "Charmed" and "Candy Doll") and a couple songs from the current live set including "Psalms" (or "Coma White" which is a/k/a "Sister, Sister") ,"See Mary Dance", and "Do Miss America". "I Know Where I Live", "Tears", and "See Mary Dance" (early version of "Dance All Night") are NOT circulating. "Hard Way to Fall" is the 'Fan Club version' which was either recorded then or re-done for 'Love is Hell' in New Orleans. "On Fire" was re-recorded as it appears on the 2006 Sad Dracula digital LP, 'Fasterpiece'. It's been stated by DRA that some of the stuff from 'the Scott Litt sessions' would appear as bonus material on the 'Pinkhearts' disc included in the shelved '20-20' box set. The leftover songs were re-recorded by Ryan on his own-- in response to a Twitter user asking 'what do they sound like?' Those re-recorded songs ("Game Over", "On Fire", "Free Dreams", "Actors on Actors", "Sweet Dreams" and "A Wish") were leaked in 2006 (e.g. War & Peace; Sad DRAcula albums). |

Demolition / Career Ender [5xLP Box Set] (2002-04)
Disc 1
THE SUICIDE HANDBOOK
21 songs---though Ryan claims there's a 3rd disc that wasn't circulated by Lost Highway with more songs.
Originally, Gold would have been 25 songs and included some cuts from this mixed in with album tracks, b-sides; and a version of "Dear Chicago" (not to be confused with the version on this album). There's a track list for it called 'Commercial Suicide'. Some of the songs on here are way better than the overblown re-makes on Gold. For instance, "Wildflowers" and "Answering Bell" ---with the re-make of "La Cienega Just Smiled" being the only improvement on the original.
Disc 2
48 HOURS
11 songs including "Walls", "Angelina", "Like the Twilight", "Karina", "Little Moon", etc.
Producer Ethan Johns said 'it wasn't an album'---though it's probably the unreleased session people seem to love the most from this period (2000-01). "Ghost", "My Love For You is Real" and "Liar" from the Cowboy Technical Service Sessions round out the disc.
 |
14- song alt. version
of Demolition |
"Blue" was included on an alternate early track list for Demolition. It was subsequently officially released as a b-side.
In 2003 (?), Ryan streamed several of these non-Demolition cuts from his website (?) as a promotional digital E.P. called
Rotten Apple. I don't think a physical release exists.
Though it can still be found on streaming sites.
Disc 3
Let It B-Minus (PINKHEARTS album)**
Two sessions recorded in Nashville with Ryan's Gold-era touring band (including future Cardinals bandmate Brad Pemberton) including songs like "Nuclear", "Starting to Hurt", "Tennessee Sucks", "Tomorrow", "Gimme a Sign", "Jesus (Don't Touch My Baby"), "Candy Doll", "Song for Keith", and others to fit on one disc. "Candy Doll" and "Song for Keith" were included on an alternate early tracklist for Demolition. The latter song was also officially released as a b-side.
Ryan's plans to follow-up Gold and his desire to release this material led to taking the current version of the band (The Sweetheart Revolution) into a Nashville studio with producer Scott Litt in April 2002.
Work was 'finished up' on the Pinkhearts disc (particularly "Charmed" and "Candy Doll"), and work began on songs like "Hard Way to Fall", "On Fire", "Suspicion", and a new version of "Hey There Mrs. Lovely" (the 'pears' line now removed---a new title, "Tears"); among others. 19 songs were recorded--but it was mostly scrapped. A lot of the left-over songs would subsequently evolve into the material that became the 2003 Stratosphere Sessions (RNR era).
The 10-song reference disc floating around out there is all there is (it would seem). As of 2007, this session has been not mentioned again by Ryan (RE: their non-inclusion on that year's 'box set' iteration).
Particularly during his 'stand-off' with Lost Highway over them not releasing Love is Hell in 2003, Ryan began posting online (message boards....alt-country.org, tobeyoung.org, Lost Highway, etc.) frequently and this is where the talk of the 'Career Ender' box-set began (following up on the cancelled Demolition box set before it). Ryan never got over them cutting it down from 60 songs to a 13-track single disc in 2002 (Ryan's second album released by Lost Highway). Now Suicide Handbook, 48 Hours, and the Pinkhearts disc would be joined by 10 more songs.
Ryan would later 'be inspired by a fan's question about what those songs sounded like' (on one of these internet message boards) to re-record a few of them during his yearlong session in ELS in 2006. These tracks would have been included as 'bonus material' on the Pinkhearts disc (for the 3rd iteration of the box set concept---20:20).
EXILE ON FRANKLIN STREET*
"Enemy Blanks" and "How Ya Doin?" are on disc 3. The latter has skips in it---though it has been repaired enough to make it listenable---though not enough for commercial release.
I don't know if a full version of "Rosalie Come and Go" exists, but it's not circulating.
Several songs date back to Whiskeytown's Pneumonia sessions (though they are probably Ryan solo or with Van Alston, or whoever around). Ryan bragged of having 'close to 100 songs in at least demo form' written for the last Whiskeytown album.
4-TRACK MIND SESSIONS**
"Like the Lies She Tells to Me" and 15 other songs (though the rest aren't circulating). Ryan claimed 'the masters were destroyed in a Guinness / painkillers accident' around the time it was also rumored to be included with the Demolition box set.

10 Do Miss America** (version 2 / re-recorded for RNR)
 |
"Do Miss America"
was first rec. in 1999 for Ryan's
Snow Kobra project

|
Ryan also recorded several tunes in Sweden in 2001--
including "You Will Always Be the Same", "For Beth",
"Dear Anne", "Oh Charles"; etc. He also recorded a duet of
the Rolling Stones' song, "Brown Sugar", with Beth
Orton in England (it's not my favourite). Other than the songs considered for Demolition, the full session wouldn't be included the 2nd time around. They'd probably have shared space with the Saturday Night Feverblister disc. 2003 was the last mention of this session by RA.
Ryan also mentioned releasing the five discs (including Love is Hell) individually; after releasing the box-set as a whole with 'the first 2,000 copies' having exclusive 'bonus material'. Promotional films, extensive liner notes, 'handbills from every show since Heartbreaker', etc. were also mentioned and also---'cover songs'. Since "Lovesick Blues" and "Brown Sugar" are the only two I'm sure would be considered---it's unknown what other stuff there could have been.
**Other smaller unreleased sessions with songs like "Just Like a Whore", "Gimme Sunshine", and "Abigail" may also have been considered for the boxed set concept.**

LOVE IS HELL
19 songs recorded over sessions in New York and New Orleans with producer John Porter. The first half (NYC sessions---'11 songs, no b-sides' ---including "When the Music Don't Come") was rejected by Lost Highway. The full New Orleans session remains unreleased and several songs rumored to have been recorded are not circulating.
A few songs would be held back and re-worked for the 'Rock N' Roll Reverse' album (RNR)---that Lost Highway would accept (recorded on someone else's dime)---in a compromise to release LiH as a pair of E.P.s in 2003. This decision would subsequently lead to the box-set's eventual demise.

Ryan Adams
Untitled LP sessions?
Between April and July of 2003. RA posted several times about going into the studio to work with Ethan Johns, Norah Jones, Gillian Welch, and David Rawlings. The plan was to make a back to basics record on an 8-track recorder, with simple accompaniment of acoustic guitar, banjo, and piano. It is unknown what became of these sessions.
It was later mentioned (in a fall 2003 article around the release of RNR) that Johns had initially invited him to L.A. to write songs for a new album [to replace Love is Hell]. Ryan invited him instead to come to New York to record with David Rawlings, Gillian Welch, and Norah Jones. They however, were unable to get together again until the August 2004 sessions for 29. It's believed Ryan may have subsequently intended to produce these sessions, himself.
Reportedly, 11 new songs were laid down in April and May 2003 (mostly at ELS) in three different studios following the Love is Hell New Orleans sessions with Smiths producer John Porter in early 2003---"I Want to Go Home", "One by One", and the acoustic version of "This Is It"---that are circulating. "Suspicion" and "Hard Way to Fall" had been held-over from the scrapped April 2002 sessions with Scott Litt in Nashville, as well. According to Porter, these songs (later released as b-sides) were also considered for the final running order of Love is Hell before it was initially scrapped by Lost Highway in 2003. "Hard Way to Fall" was also worked on during the New Orleans sessions in early 2003.
Ryan streamed several unreleased songs from various sessions on his own web-site (?) in 2003-04 (including "Hard Way to Fall" and "One by One"---as well as the leftovers from 48 Hours).
Most likely this album idea was scrapped and then the 11 songs were recorded at Stratosphere Sound with Johnny T. on drums and Eli Janney producing. Obviously, he found his muse once again and the musical direction would lead into the Rock 'N Roll Reverse album (with another 11 songs) released later that year. Love is Hell was released partially (at first) as two E.P.s---and the NYC Stratosphere demos were partially leaked on the Moroccan Role E.P. and the RNR b-sides in 2003.
- One by One+
- I Want to Go Home+ (recorded by Rudyard Culliers at Stratosphere Sound in spring 2003)
- Tears of Gold** (acoustic early version)
- The Hardest Part** (solo acoustic with "My Love For You Is Real" arrangement / performed with J.P. at The Cardinals early acoustic duo shows in 2004)
- You Will Always Be the Same** (solo acoustic re-make)
- Avenue B** (rumored song from these sessions)
- The Night** (rumored song from these sessions)
- Love is Hell** (solo acoustic remake)
- This Is It+ (acoustic version recorded at Peligro Audio / engineered by guitarist Johnny McNabb in spring 2003)
- Don't Even Go There** (rumored song from these sessions)
- The Fools We Are as People** (f.k.a. "The Fools We Are as Men" - ver. II)
"Wonderwall" b-sides = + (except * = unreleased / ** = non-circulating demo)
Ryan solo on everything / mostly recorded solo acoustic at ELS with Justin Neibank engineering, between April and May 2003. Full session remains unreleased and hasn't been mentioned by RA since the internet postings in spring 2003.
Post from 4/14/03)
I'm recording at home. I'm gonna finish in Jacksonville where I'm from in an old house. I'm using an old 4track until i can get a half-inch 8 track or whatever is more portable. its just piano and vocals, or guitar and vocals, and I'm only overdubbing one or two instruments like a banjo or a weepy little guitar line. its sounding very cool so far. kinda like the trinity sessions or howling wolf bootlegs and a little Joni Mitchell and a shitload of early Dylan influences in the songwriting. they just started coming and so I'm going there.
(Post from 5/30/03)

| There were reportedly 11 new songs recorded for the original James Barber produced sessions. "Political Song For People I Hate to Sing" and a collaboration with Josh Homme and Brody Dalle that still remain unreleased and unheard. It's believed this song was later finished by Ryan as "What Do You Want". "Anybody Wanna Take Me Home", "The Drugs Not Working" and the title track originate from the Love is Hell sessions. They were remixed and overdubbed for this album. "I Want to Go Home" was recorded during the April-May 2003 sessions for the scrapped 'back-to-basics' album. I swapped some tracks out with my mixes of Love is Hell and the b-sides from this session. |
 |
Based on a 11-song promo CD circulating somewhere. These may be earlier versions* than their 'RNR' counterparts. I added my leftovers from that album and "Halloween" from the 'LIH' NYC session---since I had no other place for it. DRA said an E.P. of songs from the NYC Stratosphere Sessions would be released along with the Love is Hell two E.P.s in late 2003. The full sessions remain unreleased. Reportedly about 25 songs were written on acoustic after LIH was rejected a second time. Some of those songs were recorded during the April-July 'back-to-basics' album sessions and scrapped. Ryan then recorded some demos with Johnny T. in a basement studio in New York (with Eli Janney producing).
"What Do You Want" is believed to be an outtake from 'RNR' that was finished later and released on 1985.

Recorded with producer Ethan Johns over two weeks in August 2004.
Originally planned to be released first in the 2005 trilogy that would include the first two Cardinals records, Cold Roses and Jacksonville City Nights---released in May and September of that year, respectively. 29 would be released in December 2005; making a total of three albums released in one year! |
 |
Based on the name of a bonus disc included with the proposed '20-20' box set (intended for a 2007 release?). I used the available tracks (or rather--available to me) that could have been included: "Like the Lies She Tells to Me" (4-Track Mind sessions tape---with 16 songs, that include "Folklore" and "String and the Wire"---demos from Heartbreaker to Cold Roses); 7-inch versions of "Now That You're Gone" and "If I Am A Stranger"; and the couple 4-track Version 7-inch E.P.s that were released (on Pax-Am) with songs from the Exile on Franklin Street discs. I filled the rest out with mostly songs( not repeated elsewhere) from that unreleased collection---including "How Ya Doin'?" from the hard to find (and scratched up) disc 3 (that also includes "Enemy Blanks"). Songs from the Cowboy Technical Service session and the Q Division demos would also possibly be considered, as well.
In August 2004, RA recorded ten songs with Cardinals bandmate J.P. Bowersock, session bassist Jennifer Condos, etc. Ethan Johns producing. "Whether We Make It Or Not" was rumored to be recorded for the album but remains unreleased. A live edited version from Jan. 2004 is included here. I know DRA wanted to release '29' on his Pax-Am label that year (as the first part of the 2005 trilogy). I just switched that idea out for this. |
