Jaunuary 6 [10:00 EDT] -- Just as "Brick" is bringing the Ben Folds Five to a wider audience, some of the band's rarities will arrive next week in a collection titled "Naked Baby Photos."
The release, which will turn up on Tuesday, January 13 courtesy of Caroline Records, features eight studio recordings, five of which are previously unreleased. The remaining studio tracks on the album are rare alternate takes of three Folds nuggets.
The collection is rounded out by eight live recordings, three of which are concert favorites but have never been recorded by the band including their cover of Built To Spill's "Twin Falls." The entire collection was produced by Folds himself, who also wrote the album's liner notes.
