The Complete Factory Showroom Sessions is an unofficial title given to a 1996 internal Elektra cassette that leaked to the public. The collection includes nearly the entire Factory Showroom album and its associated B-sides, as well as seven other songs that had not been released at the time of its leak. The cassette was leaked to fans via a friend of producer Pat Dillett.[1] By February 1997 copies of the cassette were privately circulating, and in March they spread to the wider online fan base.[2]
Most of the songs that were exclusive to this cassette were eventually released on Long Tall Weekend in 1999. Two recordings from this cassette, versions of "Older" and "On The Drag," are unavailable elsewhere. "I Can Hear You" is absent due to being a wax cylinder recording. "We've Got A World That Swings" is also absent, possibly because it was recorded separate to Factory Showroom.
