Matthew has an incredibly large body of unreleased songs in demo form. Most of these circulate among fans in reasonable quality. However a few of the sets I have never been able to track down in lossless quality. These include a set of songs usually titled Unearthed (Earth Demos) with the following tracklist:
01. You Don't Love Me
02. Destroy the Truth
03. When It Comes To You
04. Just About Nothing
05. Tinfoil Flower
06. My Love Knows
07. Rock Singer
08. Looking at the Sun
09. Sandman
10. Captured
11. Keep You In the Middle
12. Mourning
13. Part of Me*
14. Put Your Head Between Your Knees
15. My Only Voice
16. You Gotta Love Me
17. Her Mother's Name
18. Silent City
19. Living Is Killing Me
20. When You Have to Go*
21. To Understand

*these tracks are unique to this set, all others are duplicated on other demo sets that I have in lossless quality

The MP3's that I have also included the following in the info file:
Matthew Sweet - Unearthed (demos)
21 demos recorded in the late 1980s, around the time of Matthew Sweet's second album, Earth.
Massive thanks to Don at the old ASH blog!

Another set I have only ever found in lossy MP3's is called Pre-Girlfriend Era Demos with the following tracklist:
01. All I Want*
02. Beautiful*
03. Don't Go
04. King Of The World*
05. Lonely*
06. Never Get Out Of Here*
07. Nothing To Do With It*
08. Put Your Head Between Your Legs
09. Taken
10. The Right Time*
11. To Understand
12. Unhappy
13. Wheatgerm & Honey
14. Won't Be Denied*
15. You Can Talk Me Down*
16. You Gotta Have Me

*these tracks are unique to this set, all others are duplicated on other demo sets that I have in lossless quality

Finally the last demo set I have only been able to find in lossy MP3 is called Superdeformed Vol 3 with the following tracklist:
01. I Don't Know Anything
02. Terrible Dream*
03. You're So Young*

*these tracks are unique to this set, the other is duplicated on other demo sets that I have in lossless quality

If anyone has these holy grail demo sets or even just the *tracks in lossless quality please share them.

An even bigger grail item is an enormous list of In Reverse demos from 1997-99. To my knowledge those haven't circulated among fans even in lossy quality.
