Shinola, Vol. 1 is a compilation album by the American rock band Ween.[4] Released by Chocodog on July 19, 2005, Shinola is a collection of remastered outtakes dating back to 1990.
The album gets its title from the colloquial phrase "You don't know shit from Shinola".[5][6]
Track Origins
[edit]- "Tastes Good on th' Bun" is an outtake from The Pod, appearing on The Stallion Tape.[7]
- "Boys Club" was the first Ween song recorded with Glenn Mcclelland, who joined the group in 1996.[8]
- "I Fell In Love Today" appears on The Caesar Demos digital album of Quebec outtakes,[9] recorded between 2001-2003.

- "How High Can You Fly?" was released on the 1999 Craters of the Sac digital album.
- "Transitions" has no confirmed origin but is theorized by fans to be a Mollusk outtake.[12][13]
- "Israel" is not found on any circulating demo tapes, and no discussion or writing on it by the band or otherwise has linked it to any specific era, it could be possible that the track was recorded specifically for the album.

- "Monique The Freak" was released on the 1999 Craters of the Sac digital album.
