Over the last few years, Wilco, Aimee Mann, and Patty Griffin have all had completed albums rejected by one or another of the major record labels.
Presumably they're not the only ones, but they were the artists who leapt to mind just now when I heard that the same thing had happened to Fiona Apple.
With this kind of report it's almost obligatory to condemn whatever's kept the album from release—corporate stupidity, wrangling between the label and Apple's business managers, whatever. Consider that done.
I haven't heard the tracks yet, but if you're interested, information (and a link to the unreleased tracks) can be found in this story at SFGate.com: Who Will Free Fiona Apple? (via Tim Cain's Crouching Weblog, Hidden Baldwin)
Now promise me that if you do download the tracks, you'll pay for the album if it comes out. Artists have to eat, you know.
