uGGH I know!! so sad we only had 2 albums + that compilation, i need more & i wont get it ny10

Have you heard somebody say they're trying to release other songs from the vaults?

Amy constantly wrote, but I'm not sure she recorded. A lyrics book would be nice too.

Her Frank/B2B boxset with both albums in deluxe versions is my treasure. It was a bit limited on release, so I paid a bit too much, but no regrets! I also have a Fred Perry ladybag "Cards of Amy" with her image in cards. Money goes to AW Foundation! I'm yet to buy her BBC boxset. I try to collect her stuff, maybe picture discs on vinyl next. Her image was so iconic, no wonder Fred Perry is still inspired by her. Those dresses are so lovely. And that hairdo is 10000x iconic!

Yeah, but when she died, some studio guys said there was still unreleased stuff. What I love about her is how she recorded completely different versions of her songs, just like great old artists. For instance, Bob Dylan has millions of drastically different versions of same song, and plays live differently EVERY TIME. Amy was an old soul, so her songs always sounded differently too. Tears, Valerie and other, for example. So even if they release an album of demos, I will listen to it, cause I'm sure those will be 'new' songs, not just same album tracks recorded raw.

The Lioness version of "Tears Dry" ny10 is pure perfection, Tears is in my TOP3 of my fave songs of her

I also would buy it even if they're demos tbh

Do you like her amazing videos? bey3

 

It's weird how Rehab ended up being a hit, I think it was just a joke song, but they recognized hit potential and actually made it a single. The video for it is so iconic, she looks amazing too. And its Grammy party version is rocking!

I think my favourite is You Know I'm not Good. It has such a great camera work! Back to Black is fantastic too, I'm a sucker for black and white videos. Her amazing trenchcoat antm1 I hope there is some kind of blu-ray compilation of her videos coming too one day.

I've heard exactly the opposite. When she passed in 2011, she was nearly finished with her third album. Something like 13 or 14 tracks had been recorded. When the bombshell came out, her label's executives said they were caught in a huge moral dilemma surrounding the newest recordings. Asif Kapadia and Mark Ronson had access to years of studio sessions when they were compiling and finishing Lioness, but they didn't include any of the stuff she'd recorded for what would be her third album. The head of Island Records made the decision after Lioness to destroy all remaining material from the third album's sessions, so it wouldn't turn into an Aaliyah situation, with her being posthumously included on a bunch of different songs as a hook girl or whatever. So yeah, those tracks are gone now.

There are other people with demos, but none of them are from that late in her career. Her producer Stefan Skarbek has 10 unreleased tracks from Frank and Back To Black, only about five of which he considers complete. Her dad has the demo tape that got her signed before Frank, which includes covers of Night & Day and Fly Me To The Moon. There are also 12 older demos in the Island Records archives, at least one of which has already leaked in some form (one song in their archive is called "Procrastinate" and it's the final version of the leaked song "Procrastination"). The only properly new song we've gotten recently was the spoken snippet of "You Always Hurt The Ones You Love", which was included at the very end of the Amy documentary. That was first written in about 2009 for the third album. Here's the speculated tracklist for the third album, based on information from the liner notes of Lioness:

 

Our Souls Ain't Sold [Stylized as "Our Souls Ain't Sole" and also the only track with a confirmed placement, as she tweeted that it was Track 7] 
A Lion's Pride
Care Instructions
Cholero
Do Me a Lemon
How Long Now?
Lion(ess) In Limbo
Misery Loves Company
Not a Penny
Song For Dionne
You Never Came Back For Me
Gutter [Confirmed to be produced by Salaam Remi]
You Always Hurt The Ones You Love
The Ultimate Betrayal
Detachment
