Unreleased material
Unreleased tracks, demos, and covers have circulated over the Internet. The posthumous collection From a Basement on a Hill II attracted the attention of the media when it was first leaked online. Other leaks include the Grand Mal collection, which is updated yearly and, as of the latest edition, contains 131 tracks spread over eight discs, and the two-disc Basement Demos collection, which contains some of the same tracks as From a Basement on a Hill II along with a significant amount of additional unreleased material. Many of these leaks have taken place near the anniversary of Smith's death.
