==Background==
*''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' seems to be sourced from a cassette tape containing a (presumably) hand-selected set of pre-''[[BoC Maxima]]'' tracks. The leaking of these tracks to p2p networks ([[Soulseek]], originally) provided much drama on [[WATMM]].
* Commonly referred to as ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'', due to its label; however, according the [[Twoism forum]] user dealer, who posted new photos of the cassette and liner notes, it is also the true ''[[Old Tunes Vol. 1]]'' (and not [[Random_35_Tracks_Tape|the tape previously assumed to be OTV1]]). But, on the other hand, the [[WATMM|WATMM forum]] user phalam posted new scans from a different angle which depict ''[[A Few Old Tunes]]'' as the cover and the cassette label. This leads to believe [[Boards of Canada]] used two different labelings for the very same cassette. See the two conflicting [[Old Tunes Vol. 1#Scans|scans]] below.

== Availability ==
* As of April 29th, 2009, [http://youtube.com YouTube] user [http://www.youtube.com/user/TEKM0SIS TEKM0SIS] has leaked various tracks from ''[[A_Few_Old_Tunes]]'' and ''[[Old_Tunes_Vol._1|Old]]'' ''[[Old_Tunes_Vol._2|Tunes]]'' on his channel.

==Cover==
* According to KToiBalToi: "the girl on the cover of "a few old tunes" is Louise Campbell, the younger sister of [[Peter Iain Campbell|(Peter) Iain Campbell]] who has worked with them on other art projects. I think it was taken as a still from an old family video."<ref>http://medlibrary.org/medwiki/Talk:Old_Tunes</ref>
** The image is also used on the cover of ''[[Hi Scores (release)|Hi Scores]]''

==Samples/Lyrics==
*A sample from a [[wikipedia:pornographic movie|porn movie]] in [[P:C:]].
*Large chunks of the [[wikipedia:Colonel Abrams|Colonel Abrams]] song "Trapped" in "[[Trapped (version)]]".
*A sample from an advertisement for a cleaning product in [[Devil]].
*A sample from the British game show [[wikipedia:Blockbusters (game show)|Blockbusters]] in [[Blockbusters|the song of the same name]].
