Before any discussion of specific tracks or releases can take place, it is important to consider several important realities about Boards of Canada's discography: | Before any discussion of specific tracks or releases can take place, it is important to consider several important realities about Boards of Canada's discography: | ||

1. [[Boards of Canada]] rarely and inconsistently release albums. Because of this, it is very common for tracks or albums to be released or announced within the community as a joke on the community. Sometimes, even, for unknown reasons, artists deliberately choose to circulate their own work on peer to peer networks as the work of [[Boards of Canada]]. With very few exceptions, those tracks and albums not explicitly outlined in the discography found here on the wiki are fake by default. The number of these forgeries seems to grow rather than decline, and while the vast majority of the tracks known to the community are included on this page, it is by no means an exhaustive list of the music marketed as Boards of Canada on the world wide web. | 1.

Boards of Canada's back catalog (Pre-[[Twoism]]) is a subject of controversy. While the community seems to generally agree upon the genuineness of [[Old Tunes Vol. 1]], [[Old Tunes Vol. 2]], [[A Few Old Tunes]], and [[BoC Maxima]], all of the other pre-[[Twoism ]]releases are believed to be unavailable online. [[Closes Vol. 1]] and [[Hooper Bay]] fakes circulate especially often online, and appear in various forms, but in all cases have been rejected by the community as being legitimate [[Boards of Canada]] releases. The only copies known to exist of these early albums are believed to be owned by the friends and family of Boards of Canada, who have never posted them online. |
3. Sometimes users poorly or inaccurately tag MP3s. Some legitimate Boards of Canada tracks are mislabeled. For instance, "[[David Came To Mahana'im]]" and "[[Sir Prancelot Brainfire]]" are commonly confounded mp3s on P2P networks. It is important to either find a reliable source for the legitimate pre-Twoism releases, or to pay careful attention to track times to ensure that they are properly labeled. | 3.

''Boards of Canada Live @ Warp 10 1999 + All Tomorrow's Parties 2001'' appeared in auction in February 2008.

It is also worthy of note that the bootlegger's artwork indicates that the [[All Tomorrow's Parties]] of 2001 took place in Los Angeles, California. The real [[ATP]] of 2001 took place in England. | It is also worthy of note that the bootlegger's artwork indicates that the [[All Tomorrow's Parties]] of 2001 took place in Los Angeles, California.
