Out-of-State Plates


Out-of-State Plates is a double compilation album by the American rock band Fountains of Wayne. It was released on Virgin Records on June 28, 2005.

Details

The album, a two-disc compilation of non-album tracks and previously unreleased recordings spanning the group's entire career, contain two brand new songs, "Maureen" and "The Girl I Can't Forget", as well as the first official release of the group's 1999 version of Britney Spears's "...Baby One More Time". Also featured is a rare live version of the Electric Light Orchestra song, "Can't Get It Out of My Head". According to bassist and songwriter Adam Schlesinger, "The reason we really wanted to do this compilation record is that we do like a lot of these songs and we do want people to be able to hear them. But there are also a few things that are tossed off and goofy and this seems like the proper context to present them in." Lead singer and fellow songwriter Chris Collingwood added, "The album may not hold up thematically like some of our others, but I still really like it."
