There is something that's been bugging me that I'm surprised nobody picked up before, but the French Restaurant song that leaked might not be an original version of it, but a piano rework Chris Braide did in 2021 alongside new version of Damn You that leaked as "alternate final". So I'm pretty confident a real 2011 version of French Restaurant with original production exists as well.

the part about the Born to Die reissue physically hurts 

Yes and it's not only that, it's kinda a pattern throughout her career!
Each time Lana wrote a song with Rick, but it was released with/alongside someone else's production, but she still liked the demo, she would finish it with Rick and release as radio mix.
Radio mixes of Dark Paradise and Summertime Sadness are both finished Rick demos  

I need pink champagne/LMLY demo so bad  
 
I don’t see how a cinematic psychedelic song becomes THAT

I don't know if it's ok to just continue it all in this thread, but I guess everything related to unreleased material from UV does count as "Scrapped 3rd album" discussion.
 
Starting with the name, I personally never heard of "Trans-Am" being referenced, whether as a song title, album title or some project. Maybe it was a code name Lana used, maybe something insignificant. I did however see Tropico being used interchangeably as LP2/Second studio album form late 2012. I suspect that Lana had a visual idea for it from the start and already was in talks to make a movie for it in early stages. Maybe it went as far as her signing some agreements or label scheduling some timelines that had to be met in order to make the visual happen, but when it approached Lana might have decided she is not ready with the record at all and needs more time to finish it so they made ultimate decision to use the visual for Paradise edition instead. Since the name Tropico was more attached to the visual theme than the album she was making, she changed the album name and kept Tropico for the movie

Angels Forever is such a masterpiece. it’s so sad it didn’t get a proper release.

This is the real album cover BTW

i thought this was actually a photo of her but as a scrolled down i realized it was a cardboard cut-out

It 👏is 👏 completely 👏normal 👏for 👏artists 👏to 👏include 👏older👏 songs👏 on 👏 their👏records.
 
You guys have this weird purity fetish that makes you discard great material by default because it wasn't written and produced 3 weeks before the release. Artists have always come back to older ideas they had, carried over unused concepts from one album to the nect etc. It's completely normal and does not hurt anyone's  artistic integrity to do so. This weird obsession with saying she recycles things and calling songs outtakes is so annoying.

White Dress - 99 (-1)
Chemtrails Over the Country Club - 25 (+1)
Tulsa Jesus Freak -  30 
Dark but Just a Game - 31
Wild at Heart - 32

At this point, whenever I hear "reworked version of YTH" I automatically know the info should be taken with a very large grain of salt. Since Yes to Heaven has been considered for nearly every Lana album under the sun, I believe that if it finally does make its place on a record, that it won't be too far changed from the version/s we know, especially lyric-wise. All I could see changing is the production, especially since we have multiple demos of various productions. However, the lyrics don't really vary. Lana's talked about how much she likes the song, so I can't see her changing it much beyond production. Though, perhaps by now, she's decided it won't fit on any record.
I'll be interested to see if there actually will be any unreleased songs on the upcoming record and how they vary from the versions we have.. considering the past couple of records have contained unreleased tracks or scraps from prior records, I'm expecting some on this record as well x

What with all the fake insiders being clownish on here maybe LDRX is entitled Clown School

To leave Lana

if we get any kind of unreleased on this, please let it be something like My Best Days 
when i was sleeping without you haunted by the baddest dreamssss

NOOO, STAY AWAY FROM HER

I feel like I say this a lot but i'll say it again. I understand why people feel like she needs to change it up, but this wordy and conversationalist description just makes me think she's going to continue going deeper and deeper into her poetry and finding ways to incorporate both music and poetry
 
Who knows, she's always been bad at describing her own albums, but I truly believe Lust for Life was the last we'll see of classic LDR

Not again..
