No, Virginia... is the second compilation album from American dark cabaret band The Dresden Dolls. It was released in Europe on May 19, 2008, and was released in North America on May 20, 2008.[1] The compilation is a companion piece to the band's second studio album, 2006's Yes, Virginia..., and contains tracks left over from recording sessions dating back to 2003,[2] along with b-sides and tracks released on compilations. Amanda has emphasized that the unreleased tracks from Yes, Virginia... were left off the album due to issues with the flow of the album, and not with the tracks themselves.[3] Five tracks from No, Virginia... were recorded with Sean Slade in January 2008. The songs themselves were written years ago but had not been recorded until the session with Slade. One song from the album, "The Kill", has been made available for streaming on the band's MySpace profile.
On April 4, 2008, the band began taking pre-orders for the album. Those who pre-ordered the album directly from the band were able to download a live recording of "Glass Slipper" during the week the album was released. The track may be one of the two live tracks the band considered adding to the standard track listing of the album.[4]
