Old Tunes is the collective name given to two unofficially released audio cassette tape recordings by the Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada: A Few Old Tunes (also known as Old Tunes Vol. 1), and Old Tunes Vol. 2, both produced in 1996. Although neither tape has been officially released by the band, copies have leaked online and can be found on media-sharing sites such as YouTube.
Old Tunes, as with most of Boards of Canada's other early work, was privately released only to the artists' family and friends. When MP3s of the albums' songs appeared on peer-to-peer file sharing service Soulseek in the early 2000s, there was controversy among fans as to their authenticity given past fraudulent claims of Boards of Canada "rarities" albums. Neither Boards of Canada nor their label acknowledged their validity until someone attempted to sell the tapes on eBay, when a representative for Hexagon Sun explained the private nature of the recordings and the possibility of a compilation release in the future.
