The following are compilation albums released by the various record labels over the years that aren't considered 'proper' albums by the band. (In most cases, TFF had nothing to do with the release of these albums.) Some are promo-only, but most were/are available for purchase. I'm sure this only scratches the surface of the compilations out there, so let me know if you can confirm the existence of others!
