''Then: The Earlier Years'' is a double album by the band They Might Be Giants. It was released in 1997 (see 1997 in music). ''Then'' contains the album ''Lincoln'' in its entirety, the albums ''They Might Be Giants'' and ''Miscellaneous T'' which are each missing one track, a few otherwise unreleased songs from their ''1985 Demo Tape'' and other songs previously unreleased. The song missing from ''Miscellaneous T'' is "(She Was a) Hotel Detective (Single Mix)" and the song missing from ''They Might Be Giants'' is the album version of "Don't Let's Start", as it was replaced in its appropriate place in the track listing by the single version of the same song from ''Miscellaneous T''. It is notable that the track "We're The Replacements" references the alternative rock band of the same name. The They Might Be Giants Online Store also sells the non ''They Might Be Giants'' and ''Lincoln'' tracks separately, in two parts titled ''Giants Jubilee'' and ''Mightathon''. These albums were once sold separately, but the full album is typically available for sale digitally. The compilation ''Best of the Early Years'' is effectively a heavily condensed version of this release (a single disc and only 10 tracks). The two discs of this compilation were released separately in 2013 by Australian indie label Breakaway Recordings, with the ''TMBG'' disc having the original "Don't Let's Start" mix and the single mix of "(She Was A) Hotel Detective" added, as well as having "Untitled" moved from track 23 to track 38 and "'85 Radio Special Thank You" having 20 seconds of silence appended. ==Song origins== *Tracks 1-3 and 5-19 on disc one are originally from ''They Might Be Giants'' *Tracks 1-18 on disc two are originally from ''Lincoln'' *Track 4, the single mix of "Don't Let's Start," was taken from ''Miscellaneous T''; in the original release of ''They Might Be Giants'', a different mix of this song appeared as the fourth track on the album *Tracks 20-27 on disc one and tracks 19-26 on disc two are from ''Miscellaneous T'', although that itself was a compilation of b-sides, so the tracks originally appeared on various singles and EPs *Tracks 34 and 35 from disc one and tracks 31 and 32 from disc two are originally from the ''1985 Demo Tape'' *Tracks 28-33 and 36 on disc one and tracks 27-30 and 33-36 on disc two are previously unreleased. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Then: The Earlier Years」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
