* MissingEpisode: According to ''Amazing Grace'', Buckley threw out almost an album's worth of recordings for his second album. This means that the two discs on ''Music/SketchesForMySweetheartTheDrunk'' aren't even ''all'' of the recordings from those sessions.
** Isn't Disc 1 the rejected sessions, though? He ''was'' going to destroy the tapes, but he wanted to wait until his bandmates rejoined him in Memphis, so they could have a proper "ritual" of it. In a cruel twist of fate, he died on the night his friends returned. The tapes were saved from destruction, probably against his wishes.

** There are a fair number of unreleased, but leaked, Jeff Buckley tracks. Of note is the track "All Flowers In Time Bend Towards The Sun" featuring Elisabeth Fraser. Whilst this song is extremely well regarded amongst fans, Fraser has consistently vetoed its official release due to regarding it as unfinished. There are indications that she's warming up to the idea.

** Fans like to collect bootlegs of his recorded concerts on DVD and CD. His mother doesn't do much to stop this as she thinks this helps to spread his name out there.
** ''Amazing Grace'', the award-winning documentary about his life went into a state of limbo for a few years before finally being released on the special edition of ''Grace Around The World''. This edition, however, is about to go out of print, leaving the documentary under the possibility of becoming this trope once again.
