Hey, what albums have acts recorded, practically 100% completed but were never given an official release but remain locked away somewhere or 'accidently' leaked, not album that were unreleased because they act was dropped (e.g. Honeyz - Harmony etc).

Two that I think of is:

Green Day - Cigarettes And Valentines - this was recorded/written around 2003 before American Idiot but the songs were stolen and the band decided to start on a new album instead (American Idiot).

Sheryl Crow - The Unreleased Album - recorded way back in the early 90's before she had a hit with 'All I Wanna Do', this album was officially unreleased due to it being to 'pop' for the record label, it did however leak.

Marina and the Diamonds have finished and mixed "Electra Heart" but there are plenty of rumors making the rounds that the reason for no release date announcement is because it won't get released

Doesn't Britney have an unreleased album? Or is that just wishful thinking on her fans behalf?

Not necessarily an unreleased album and they may have used the songs on their later albums but Blondie's Plastic Letters was supposedly originally meant to be a double album. Which would leave an albums worth of material "unreleased". There were also talks of their latest album Panic Of Girls being a double album, which also never happened.

Victoria Beckham also has an unreleased album. And I believe Mel B recorded an album a few years back that is yet to see the light of day.

Nicole Scherzinger's first album was unreleased because all the singles underperformed. Some of the songs ended up elsewhere ("When I Grow Up" and "I Hate This Part" were given to PCD, "Power's Out" ended up on Killer Love, and "Just Say Yes" was returned to Snow Patrol)

Mariah recorded a remix album that she recorded with the likes of Akon, K-Ci & JoJo, Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Mary J. Blige and Westlife that was scrapped.

Dr. Dre's "Detox" has yet to be released.

Apparently the song 'Isn't It Strange' from the Shrek soundtrack is a song recorded for that album. I'd love to hear it too, I bet it wasn't all bad!

They should release it as Bsides if nothing else, would help their singles perform better if they put some new songs in with it.

Any Which Way had a B-side, but it's terrible.

It's a shame B-sides are rare these days, i'd be allot more tempted to buy a single if it had them.

Kylie recorded a jazz style album a few years back that has not seen the light of day as of yet. Apparently it's the best thing she's recorded if music insiders are anything to go by.

Probably one of the most famous ones would be Smile by the Beach Boys. Had this been released it would probably have become like Sgt Pepper part of the public consensus.

The project collapsed when Brian Wilson became more and more ill though depression and drug addiction. The faliure of his masterpiece Pet Sounds in America went a long way to cause this.

It was kind of mashed together to become Smiley Smile in 1967. Brian Wilson did resurect the album to critical acclaim in 2004, it reached no 7 in the album charts so not a flop but will never be remembered the way it should have done.

Madonna was working on a rock inspired album. I don't know if she recorded a lot of songs but it was cancelled and eventually we were given Confessions. I Love New York (the original demo) is an example of how the rock album was gonna be.

Lana Del Rey's original album named Lizzy Grant was scrapped but it may get a release this year

Katy perry did an album with a group named The Matrix years before she hit the big time. But it was scrapped but several songs made it onto You tube.

Amy winehouse's third album. Unknown how much she did before her passing but remains unreleased.

Eve's Here I am album. Announced in 2007 and even released two singles. Was delayed several times. Then in 2010 it was renamed Lip Lock and promised to be released. But here we are in 2012 and still no album.

Samantha Mumba's second album named Woman was scrapped due to her label going down under.

Girls can't catch album was scrapped due to being dropped. It included one song written by Pixie lott.

They recorded an album that was actually reviewed in a magazine but it was never released. Shame really as i'd have liked to have heard it.
