The 11 songs above made their debut on Wicked in the Mix's self-released 2007 CD WM, along with an early version of "Jenny" that was the only song of this era to survive onto a major-label release. This consists of the earliest known released material by the band that would eventually evolve into Walk the Moon. The WM CD saw very limited release, and is basically unobtainable new or used.

The above two songs made their first appearance on The Anthem EP, the group's first release under the "Walk the Moon" name. The track listing was rounded out with new versions of "Anthem" and "Jenny." Good luck finding a copy of this.

The Other Side: B-Sides and Rarities is a hilarious misnomer of a title. Not only was this the first full-length CD released under the "Walk the Moon" name, but the eight tracks above had never seen prior release in any form, B-side or otherwise! The Other Side featured 14 songs altogether, the other 6 of which had appeared previously on WM.

I Want! I Want! is probably the most attainable of the band's obscure pre-major label releases, although a physical copy is still liable to cost a fan a pretty penny if and when it turns up. Walk the Moon was fine-honing its material and gearing up for the major labels at this point. Six of the album's eleven tracks were re-recorded for the group's self-titled RCA debut in 2012 (including "Jenny" and their first tangible hit, "Anna Sun"), leaving the five songs above to languish in obscurity. In 2022, a version of "William Blake" resurfaced on a limited-edition tenth-anniversary vinyl reissue of Walk the Moon.

Anyway I Can	N. Petricca, E. Maiman, K. Ray, S. Waugaman	Walk the Moon (deluxe), RCA 88883-73271-2
Also available on the 12" vinyl "Tightrope EP" (RCA 88765-44902-1).

Although Walk the Moon's signing to a major label meant that their material was now accessible to an international audience, it wasn't the end of rarities. As a 2012 Record Store Day promotion, RCA issued a 45 rpm single of "Anna Sun" with an unreleased B-side (inexplicably omitted from the companion Anna Sun EP CD). The song was included as a bonus track on the subsequent Tightrope EP and deluxe issue of the self-titled album, discussed below.

Walk the Moon's 2013 follow-up single "Tightrope" coincided with yet another vinyl collector's product, this time a 12" release containing "Anyway I Can," two alternate versions of "Tightrope," and the above unreleased tracks. Later that year, Walk the Moon's self-titled album was reissued in Australia and Oceania as a deluxe edition including the entire Tightrope EP and an alternate version of "Shiver Shiver," counting up 7 bonus tracks. (Why this edition couldn't have been made more widely available is anyone's guess.)

Predictably, Walk the Moon's next album was once again released in a "deluxe" incarnation arbitrarily restricted to a single world market (Europe this time). Three bonus tracks were included, one of which was a live version of "Shut Up and Dance" also included on the song's CD single release.

It's Your Thing	R. Isley, O. Isley, R. Isley	None
Cover of the 1969 Isley Brothers hit.

2015's Different Colors EP had the dubious distinction of being the band's first "digital-only" extended-play without any physical-media release at all; not even a vinyl collector version. Its contents consisted of three versions of the eponymous song (two of which were remixes), "Boyfriend," and the previously-unreleased "It's Your Thing." Proceeds from the EP benefited the Human Rights Campaign.

2016 was another frustrating year for physical media connoisseurs. The band's live double album saw its only physical release as a collector-oriented vinyl LP set, with no CD version. The album contained extended intros and on-stage banter between songs that were tabulated in the digital release as individual tracks; however, all the selections were drawn from Walk the Moon's first two RCA albums. Walk the Moon also continued its trend of contributing songs to soundtracks, and started collaborating on other artists' recordings:

In fall of 2018, Walk the Moon collaborated with fellow queer musician Morgxn on his charting hit "Home." The version of "Home" appearing on Morgxn's Vital CD (Wxnderlost/Hollywood D0028782-02), however, does not feature Walk the Moon. As if that wasn't confusing enough? The vinyl LP version of Vital (D0030610-01) does reportedly contain the Walk the Moon version!

Title	Writers	CD Release
Timebomb	N. Petricca, J. Alan, O. Holter	See below
Also distributed in an digital package with three alternate versions of the song. Peak position (US): Alternative #13, 2019-03-02.

In 2019, Walk the Moon began teasing fans with a series of digital-only singles, seemingly slated for a forthcoming album with a tentative late 2019 or 2020 release. This album ended up never happening as such: The COVID-19 pandemic caused the studio sessions to be shelved before more than half a record was complete, then the fallout over Kevin Ray caused the band to scrap or re-record their pre-existing material entirely, leaving these 2019 singles orphaned in perpetuity.

"Timebomb" was well-received and did credibly on the charts, in spite of the lack of any companion album or physical release. As far as I know, it's appeared on a CD exactly twice: Once on a British CD-R DJ promo series, and once on a possibly-bootleg Polish compilation. It's a surprise that the song never surfaced on a readily-available "Now"-type CD.

Title	Writers	CD Release
Win Anyway	N. Petricca, E. Maiman, S. Waugaman (and cowriters?)	None
From the animated film Rumble.

After recouping from its crises in 2020 and delivering the excellent Heights album the following year, the remaining members of Walk the Moon returned to soundtrack work in late 2021 with "Win Anyway." Not only was the song not included on Heights, but it appears that the Rumble soundtrack doesn't yet have a physical media release at all. May the next year bring us new music and new CDs!
