[edit]

The songs that would eventually make up ...Was a Real Boy were originally slated for release as a benefit album entitled Say Anything vs. AIDS, the proceeds from which would, appropriately enough, go to support AIDS research.[17] The songs differ from their commercially released counterparts in that they had yet to be properly mastered, and that the titles for many songs were different. One song does not appear on the commercial release.
