Recordings is a compilation album by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, first released in May, 2001. It is a collection of b-sides from the albums Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun along with one new song, "Access Denied". Recordings is a limited pressing release, limited to only 20,000 copies worldwide. The first pressing was a limited edition and was out of print shortly after its release, but the album was re-issued in late 2010, and is now a permanent resident among the band's discography.
The origins for the track listing are as follows:
