Flex-Able Leftovers (album)

The Flex-Able Leftovers album, released on 10 November 1998, on Sony Records, contains five bonus tracks and is quite different from the original Flex-Able Leftovers EP. Unlike Steve Vai's other albums, which are mostly instrumental, almost all copies of Flex-Able Leftovers feature a Parental Advisory label, as a result of the song "Fuck Yourself" containing multiple profanities and sexual references. Other differences from the original version include the recording of live drums on "You Didn't Break It!" (The original used a drum machine) and the complete re-editing and mixing of the songs.
