Forgotten Freshness Volumes 1 & 2 is a double album by the Insane Clown Posse. The first two "volumes" in the "Forgotten Freshness Series" were released in 1998 around the time of The Great Milenko hype. The album features unreleased and "lost" tracks that are harder to find elsewhere. It also contains some tracks that were "remixed" or changed. Before this album's release the ICP released Forgotten Freshness in 1995, but because of sample clearing problems it was only released in the Detroit area and the mid-west. Many of the tracks on that album appeared again on these albums for wider distribution purposes. Because of the earlier album this can be considered the second/third albums in the series, but they are the first/second "volumes".
