Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before is a compilation album by Barenaked Ladies which includes rare recordings dating between 1992 and 2003. The album was originally planned as a companion to or even as part of a deluxe version of Hits from Yesterday & the Day Before, a greatest hits album released in September 2011; however, the release was pushed back to May 8, 2012, making it a standalone release. The twelve-track album contains ten never-before-released tracks, as well as two previously released rarities.
The album was released by Rhino Records, a subsidiary of Warner Music Group which is also the parent company of Reprise Records. Reprise was Barenaked Ladies' record label from their first album, Gordon in 1992, through Everything to Everyone in 2003. As a result, Warner holds the rights to the band's recordings made during that period, notwithstanding the fact that the band has been independent since that time.
Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before contains 12 songs spanning 1992 to 2003. It contains four final studio recordings (B-sides not included on albums), three live recordings, three demos, an "outtake" and a remix.
Two tracks ("One Week" (Pull's Break Remix) and "Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!") were previously released as B-sides on singles, and in other releases. "I Don't Get It Anymore" is the only final studio recording included for which the song was not later re-recorded and released on an album. "Second Best" appears on Everything To Everyone, and "Adrift", "Half A Heart" and "I Can, I Will, I Do" were subsequently re-recorded for Barenaked Ladies Are Me/Men.
