What is the City Games album?

City Games was a fake tracklisting for Kylie's third album with Parlophone that was 'leaked' onto the web before the official Body Language announcement. Not only did it have full writing credits for all of the tracks, but contained three tracks that have since been released and even had a full track-by-track review written by someone. Whether there was some truth in the rumoured album is therefore uncertain. However, the tracklisting contains a track co-written by Kylie's sister, Dannii, which has since been denied, and also two tracks with Pharrell Williams of Neptunes fame, which have also been denied. The tracklisting was as follows:

Slow (Kylie Minogue/Emiliana Torrini/Mr Dan)
Produced by Emiliana Torrini and Mr Dan
City Games (Kylie Minogue/Richard Stannard/Julian Gallagher/Dave Morgan/Karen Poole)
Produced by Richard 'Biff' Stannard & Julian Gallagher

What was the Rapino Brothers' album?

There was no Rapino Brothers' album, as such, but Kylie did record 8 tracks with them in preparation for her first album with deConstruction. They were recorded in 1993, and some still remain unreleased or unheard. The eight tracks were:

Automatic Love
Although the track was included on the album, produced by Brothers in Rhythm, the original demo was produced by the Rapino Brothers. A 47-sec clip of the demo is available on the Internet after having been used in the closing credits of the short-film Wavelengths in 1997.
Love Is On The Line
Like Automatic Love, this track was also later re-recorded with Brothers in Rhythm. It has since been recorded by Polish artist Edyta Gorniak.
Our Lovin' / The Light That I Was Looking For
Later covered by Dara Rolins for BMG Germany, Kylie's version apparently starts with sampled chatter and the Rapinos introducing the song. A 17-sec clip has been leaked onto the Internet.
For All I'm Worth
Leaked onto the Internet in 2003.
Aston Martin
Widely available on the Internet, this track was falsely rumoured to have been co-written by Keith Allen. Mentioned in The Face interview in 1994.
Difficult By Design
Along with Gotta Move On, this was unreleased at the time but later included on the Hits+ album in 2000.
Gotta Move On
Along with Difficult by Design, this was unreleased at the time but later included on the Hits+ album in 2000.
Living For Your Loving

At around the same time, Kylie also recorded two tracks with St Etienne:

Nothing Can Stop Us
The only one of these nine tracks that was commercially released in its original form during Kylie's contract with deConstruction. Nothing Can Stop Us was one of the B-sides to Confide in Me.
When Are You Coming Home?
This track remains unheard and was rejected by Kylie on the grounds that it was too 'pure pop' for inclusion.

What tracks were on the original version of the Impossible Princess album?

Kylie recorded a whole album with Brothers in Rhythm that was due to be released in January 1997. However, it was decided that she should record with other producers and so some of the original tracks were never released. The original tracklisting was as follows:

Impossible Princess [later retitled 'Dreams' and included on the album]
(All Right) Now [remains unreleased]
You're The One [remains unreleased but leaked onto the Internet]
Looking Down On Me [remains unreleased]
Love Takes Over Me [released as a b-side]
Drunk [included on album]
Cowboy Style [included on album]
Did It Again (Clever Girl) [included on album]
Stay With You [remains unreleased]
Take Me With You [leaked then later released]
Stay This Way [leaked then later released]
Free [not confirmed to have been recorded but performed live]
Miles [remains unreleased]

Is High Energy Boy / True Love Never Dies / A Love We'll Find / Listen to the Rhythm a Kylie track?

Short answer: No. Due in part to widespread mis-labelling of tracks on P2P networks etc., these tracks are often attributed to Kylie but are in, in fact, nothing to do with her.

High Energy Boy is by a Slovenian dance duo called 'Moulin Rouge' (not from the film Moulin Rouge) and was recorded in the 1980s. Visit the Moulin Rouge website for more information.
True Love Never Dies is by Kelly Llorenna and features on her album 'All Clubbed Up'. Visit the Kelly Llorenna website for more information.
A Love We'll Find was heard on a Brothers in Rhythm night on Radio 1 and thought to be Kylie singing. It is in fact a track called 'Talk to Me' (Sasha Remix) by Hysterix.
Listen to the Rhythm was a track released by PWL under the artist name 'K3M'. This was during the time when PWL were releasing club records by Kylie on white label promos under the pseudonym of Angel K. However, the vocal sample believed to be Kylie comes from a track by a group called GTO entitled 'Listen To The Rhythm Flow'.

What tracks did Kylie record for her original demo tape for Mushroom Records in 1985?

Kylie used the money she made from The Henderson Kids to book the studio time to record a 3-track demo tape. The tracks were:

Dim All the Lights [originally by Donna Summer]
New Attitude [originally by Patti LaBelle]
Just Once

What tracks has Kylie performed live but never recorded?
