Miscellaneous T is a b-side and remix compilation album released by the alternative rock band They Might Be Giants in 1991. It is a US re-release of Don't Let's Start which was only released in the UK and West Germany. The differences include cover art, track order, and the song "Hello Radio", which was not included on Don't Let's Start. The album consists of all of the b-sides from the singles the band released between 1987 and 1989 (except Ana Ng), with the addition of the relatively new songs "The World's Address (Joshua Fried Remix)" – released beforehand only on Don't Let's Start – and "Hello Radio", which was previously released on a promotional sampler.
Contents
All of the songs, with the exception of "(She Was A) Hotel Detective (Single Mix)", went on to be included in Then: The Earlier Years, a compilation of the band's early material.
Miscellaneous T is said to be named for the section in record stores where They Might Be Giants' albums were most often shelved in the band's early years.
