Golden Feelings, released in 1993, is the second unofficial (although in its initial run it was a legal, sanctioned, and commercial release, it is still regarded as "unofficial") album by Beck in his formative years. Beck's previous release, The Banjo Story, derived from his demo tapes. Later in 1993, Beck would sign with Geffen Records and record his first official album Mellow Gold, released the following March.

Initially only available on cassette, Sonic Enemy remastered the album and released it on CD in the summer of 1999. They neglected to mention this to Beck, who was upset that they did so without his permission. After he made his displeasure known, Sonic Enemy ceased to press any more copies. Only 2,000 were pressed, causing the CD to become quite valuable.

"Special People", "Trouble All My Days" and "Super Golden Black Sunchild" all appeared on the "Pay No Mind (Snoozer)" single and were taken directly from the album.

"No Money No Honey" was re-recorded for Stereopathetic Soulmanure.

"Totally Confused" was re-recorded and released on A Western Harvest Field by Moonlight and the "Beercan" single, among others.

"Mutherfukka" was re-recorded and retitled "Mutherfuker" for the "Steve Threw Up" single and Mellow Gold.
