*Give Us Sugar (Self-released, August 2009; B-sides and rarities collection)
Give Us Sugar is a 2-CD compilation album collecting rarities from throughout Black Lab's career, including non-LP B-sides and songs previously exclusive to movie soundtracks. It was intended to be released as a limited edition of only 250 sequentially numbered, autographed copies, but the number of pre-orders far surpassed that limit, so the band changed the publishing and distribution approach. The hand written numbering on the CD front covers still stated the edition number as one of /250 (e.g.: 519/250), and the exact number produced is not known.
