Albums put out twice under different names
 

Like REPLICAS. The original vinyl was released by Tubeway Army. But now the CD reissues say Gary Numan.

Lots of other examples of this. Think of some good ones.

Didn't the Ramones basically release their first album under different guises around 14 times?

the first Cure album was cut up and sent to USA as Boys Don't Cry

No not album TITLE being renamed, I meant the band name being changed. Like in the REPLICAS example it was originally a full band name, but later considered a Gary Numan solo album. Still same album title.

I think the same thing happened with Bowie's Tin band didn't it?

You're really reaching for the obscure ones today, no?

Uh-huh.

I know Bonnie Prince Billy has pulled some crap like that. Re-releasing his albums under diff. names. (Palace _____, etc).

Caribou first albums were released as Manitoba, and then re-released as Caribou.

Animal Collective two first albums were originally released as "Avey Tare and Panda Bear" and "Avey Tare, Panda Bear and The Geologist"

Good call Son! My version of START BREAKING MY HEART was the Manitoba release. Forgot about that one! And yeah those early Animal Collectives slipped my mind as well.

Common's first 2 albums were released as Common Sense, but then some reggea band sued him so he dropped the 'Sense'

Muse albums were first released as über shit and then... oh wait, they're still über shit actually

Was Dinosaur's first album re-released as Dinosaur Jr?

I don't really care.

1/3 of Motorhead catalogue=entirety of Nashville Pussy catalogue

Yes, good call

YES! nobody said the most obvios answer yet
sleep-jerusalem
is the same thing as dopesmoker
and a complete mindfuck of a brilliant album

erm replicas is still a tubeway army album even in the reissue.. it just says featuring gary numan on the cover..... classic classic album... a real classic!

irish band wormhole released their first album "chicks dig scars" under the name wormhole in ireland.. the wormholes in the uk and wormhole star in america......


womhole/ the wormholes / wormhole star - chicks dig scars
(1994 dead elvis)

Free Kitten's first EP Call Now was rereleased as Straight Up

jandeks ready for the house.

Jandek originally went by the name "the Units" before the awesome synth punk band the Units threatened to sue.

Celtic Frost's 1984 debut, Apocalyptic Raids, was originally credited to Hellhammer.
