In 1995, a benefit album to raise funds to fight the allegedly wrongful imprisonment of convicted murderer Leonard Peltier was supposed to come out on Columbia. The record-- dubbed Exiled in the Land of the Free-- was to feature feature rare, live, and unreleased tracks from Beastie Boys, Rage Against the Machine, Superchunk, Mike Watt, Josh Homme, and more. (Via Billboard.) Well, the compilation never came out, and everyone moved on.
Well, almost everyone, apparently. American Indian Movement member Peltier is still in prison for killing two FBI agents. And now a former Columbia employee has made a website that offers the whole album to download for free, in the hopes of inspiring support for the cause.
"I apologize for the release of these materials without getting anyone's approval," reads the site. "But I believe the cause needs to be heard and I trust you will remember why you chose to take place in this benefit 16 years past."
Check out the lost album's tracklist below and head to the Exiled in the Land of the Free site for more info and to download. But since none of this seems to be authorized, don't be surprised if the music disappears soon.
