That's exactly how I feel about Jeff Buckley's Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk. There's potentially some great songs on it if they were whipped into shape a bit more (i.e. 'Vancouver' and 'The Sky Is a Landfill') and his cover of 'Satisfied Mind' is one of my favourite Jeff Buckley recordings. But there is a lot of half-baked material on that album especially on the second disc. I find it very difficult to listen to rough four-track demos that would have probably been dumped in complete disregard by Jeff had he lived and completed the album. I think a line was crossed with the reissue of Grace in recent years where they seemed to have scraped the barrel with the bonus tracks.

There are some posthumous compilations that I'm glad saw the light of day such as the Joy Division compilations Still and Substance. The Warsaw album however, although enjoyable, was never meant to see the light of day as the band were less than satisfied with it.
