The Secret Sessions
2007 Zunior Records

Dave Ullrich, formerly of The Inbreds and a Zunior founder, quietly gathered together musicians inspired and helped by the spirit and work of the Rheostatics to record a tribute album as personal thanks to the Rheos.

All sales proceeds will go to a charity designated by the Rheostatics.

Calling Out the Chords
2004

A collection of performances recorded by soundman Steve Clarkson during the 2004 Fall Nationals. Tracks include "Horses," "Mumbletypeg" (with the Fall National Horns), "Christopher" and a legendary version of "Legal Age Life."

Whale Music soundtrack
1994

Paul Quarrington's classic book, which helped to inspire the Rheos' album of the same name, was made into a movie in 1994. The Rheostics were tapped to create the music. The result is this piece of Can-rock music and movie history. Original music performed and composed by Rheostatics. Score by George Blondheim.

The Whale Music Concert - Sets #1 and #2
1992

The Whale Music Concert is a double-album release and was recorded live in 1992 at Toronto’s Bathurst Street Theatre. The show captures a very special period for the band -- it's first big Toronto performance following the release of the critically acclaimed Whale Music. The performance included special guests such as Kevin Hearn, Andy Stochansky, Meryn Cadell and The Bird Sisters.

The album comes complete with high-quality album artwork by guitarist, Martin Tielli.

"My Generation / Satellite Dancing" 45
1982

The debut 7" single from Rheostatics. An extremely rare vinyl release that features the original Bidini/Vesely/Crosby/Clark version of the band. The tracks sound like a cross between Devo and Stompin Tom. This really is Canadian musical heritage.
