The Lost Things is the fifth compilation album released by Australian rock band Boom Crash Opera. The album is a collection of Boom Crash Opera rarities [1] and was released in Australian on 18 October 2013. The album was launched on 25 October 2013 at the Flyer Saucer Club in Melbourne. [2]

A compilation album comprises tracks, which may be previously released or unreleased, usually from several separate recordings by either one or several performers. If by one artist, then generally the tracks were not originally intended for release together as a single work, but may be collected together as a greatest hits album or box set. If from several performers, there may be a theme, topic, time period, or genre which links the tracks, or they may have been intended for release as a single work—such as a tribute album. When the tracks are by the same recording artist, the album may be referred to as a retrospective album or an anthology.

Boom Crash Opera are an Australian pop rock band formed in early 1985. Initially they were based around the songwriting partnership of Richard Pleasance on guitar, bass guitar and vocals; and Peter Farnan on guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, and vocals. Pleasance developed tinnitus from constant exposure to loud live music & left in 1992 to pursue a solo career as an artist & producer. The group also included Dale Ryder on vocals, Peter 'Maz' Maslen on drums, percussion and vocals; Greg O'Connor on keyboards and guitar; and from 1992 Ian Tilley on bass guitar and vocals.

Richard Pleasance said "I know the music I make now is very different to what I was up to in the eighties but heck – it rocks. Like an un-fit footy player with groin soreness; these songs for some reason never really got a guernsey." [3]

In an interview with Beauty and Lace in February 2014 Peter Maslen said; "The rarities capture the band with our ‘pants down’ .. The tracks range from unpolished, rough and ready to fully completed work. Some of the tracks had been deemed ‘not good enough’ at the time and therefore should not go on an album."; adding "All of the rarities on The Lost Things are gems. Some are very seminal and show just how the band developed its sound. It’s like looking at an old family movie and watching the kids growing up." [4]

The group toured the album from February to May 2014. [5]
