Your Heart was an indie rock side project by Andrew Huang of Songs to Wear Pants To fame, similar to the Girl album I did before. He had some side projects in the late 2000s and early 2010s before focusing solely on music released under his own name. With this he set out to make albums based on the seasons, but he only made two Summer and Autumn before giving up on it and releasing the other two Spring and Winter under his own name in 2014. However he released two mini albums during its original incarnation, Fall and Spring Fling. Fall included one song from the Autumn album and one that would later go on the Spring album. Spring Fling also had some songs that would later go on Spring. Basically this combines tracks from both albums.

Going through the deluxe edition of Sign O' the Times, it had three discs of bonus tracks but the tracks that made up the last double album was mostly featured on the first disc. So these tracks are made up of the second and third discs of bonus tracks. Prince was working on two double album projects at the time but wanted to release this one as a triple album. The label made him cut it down to a double album, but he later said he wanted to release The Black Album the same year. He pulled it at the last minute and later released it in 1994 so he could've released this. Then he released a triple album of outtakes in 1998.

Grateful Dead - Kingfish (1976)

 

Side A:
1. Might as Well - Jerry Garcia
2. Lazy Lightnin' - Bob Weir
3. Razooli - Mickey Hart
4. They Love Each Other - Jerry Garcia
5. Home to Dixie - Bob Weir

Side B:
6. Happiness is Drumming - Mickey Hart
7. It Must Have Been the Roses - Jerry Garcia

Here's another new Grateful Dead album made out of albums by solo members that came out the same year. This one is interesting cause technically only one of them was a solo album. Jerry released his album under his name but had already formed the Jerry Garcia Band around this time. Bob was in a band called Kingfish but he only shows up on the first album before leaving. And Mickey released an album with a band called the Diga Rhythm Group which was the most experimental of the bunch. It features an early instrumental version of Fire in the Mountain which would later get released on Shakedown Street.
