Terry Manning - Home Sweet Home. only solo album by the guy who engineered "I'll Take You There", Zep III & Tres Hombres, released on a Stax subsidiary in 1970, & opens with a ludicrously awesome 10 minute "Savoy Truffle".

What about Rise by Louie & The Lovers? There was follow-up that was thought lost forever, but was eventually recovered and released, but only in a "Complete Recordings" collection, so one could argue they could be categorized as bonus tracks to the original set.

Lispector - Human Problems And How To Solve Them. Discogs lists ' Guide to personal happiness' for her as well, but it's a compilation album including tracks from 'Human Problems', so I don't think it counts.

Acen - 75 Minutes. It's not really a structured album as it just chucks together all his singles, including multiple remixes of several tracks, but much of the music on it is incredible.

that there is a great record. feel like Joost made more records though.
see now -
Kendra Smith - that's a solo album from a person in a band - really not the same thing. technically, sure, but it's not something where you say "this is pretty much all we got from this artist"the Glove - that's a side project/supergroup deal isn't it?
don't know the others

― ledge, Friday, 12 August 2011 09:37 (twelve years ago) link
I'm not sure Chris Bell qualifies - he released only a 45 during his lifetime, (a classic - I Am The Cosmos b/w You And Your Sister), but the album wasn't released until about 15 years after he died, and I'm not convinced this was ever intended to be released as an album any more so than, say, "My Sweetheart, the Drunk" and thus fails the posthumous odds-and-sods exception.
― Lee626, Friday, 12 August 2011 10:23 (twelve years ago) link
90% of those I thought of are already present and accounted for... here are some others that should be....
Armageddon s/t - ex-Yardbirds' vocalist's last record. Makes it kinda ironic that Keith Relf left the Yardies in large part because he wanted to persue softer, folkier music styles.
Roger Nichols & the Small Circle of Friends - s/t - In 1966, lyricist Tony Asher took a couple of breaks from his day job at an advertising agency to help write lyrics for two pop albums. One of those was Pet Sounds. This was the other.
One Dove - Morning Dove White - Has a cult following.
Five Thirty - Bed Doesn't have a cult following, but deserves one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhnQMB5K6bc
Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue - only completed solo album from the Beach Boys' drummer. Doesn't sound like a Beach Boys album. Still sounds good.
Mark Eric - A Midsummer's Day Dream - It was 1969, and power trios, serious R&B, the first pangs of metal, and Jimi Hendrix's guitar pyrotechnics were changing the face of music, and 16-year-old Mark Eric was ignoring all of the above, instead preferring the softer, sunnier pop of a few years earlier. It evokes Spanky & Our Gang, the Mamas & Papas, anything produced by Curt Boettcher, and of course the Beach Boys, although more Dennis than Brian, not only because his soulful voice recalls the middle Wilson brother, but also because like Dennis, Mark Eric was also a real surfer, and his songs capture those emotions in a way that even Brian's accounts of the sport picked up secondhand from Dennis don't quite capture. Listen to the track below and you can just feel the loneliness of a guy in his wet suit looking for stray waves on a dreary September day, surveying a bleak scene where those vaunted California Girls have disappeared with the cool, drifty weather, and only a few diehard surfers stay to brave the bleak, empty beaches. I love the way the lyrics become more personal as the song goes on. Great, great stuff, but it was not for its time, and it didn't sell. Mark Eric never made another record.

One more one-album wonder I'll rep for: Dios (s/t). I saw them opening for Beulah's last show in my area and was impressed, their music drew influence from both Pavement and the Beach Boys (who decades earlier attended the same high school). They already had an EP out, but before they could gain much traction with their new album, they were sued by Ronnie James Dio, who thought his band "Dio" sounded too much like "Dios". Ronnie James Dio also had alot more money and could afford better lawyers. Guess who won the case? Dios, both the band and the self-titled album, were renamed "Dios (Malos)" - yes, with parens. They also took the opportunity to change a few album tracks, so arguably they are disqualified since there are two versions of their only album. I fend for both versions being combined into one which is probably how it will eventually will be sold, much like UK and US albums with same title but slight track differences. In any case, they never followed up Dios/Dios (Malos) with further recordings.
