Release Lillywhite Recordings Campaign

An online campaign founded by Dave Matthews Band fan Pankaj Arora that is widely credited for the official release of a shelved set of Dave Matthews Band songs on studio sessions commonly referred to as the Lillywhite Sessions. In 2001 the campaign was featured on many popular media outlets including MTV, VH1, E!, Rolling Stone, and Entertainment Weekly — publicly catching the attention of the band and producer Steve Lillywhite. In 2002 the band returned to the studio in 2002 to record Busted Stuff, a CD containing new treatments of much of the Lillywhite Sessions material, along with newly written songs "You Never Know" and the hit single "Where Are You Going?"
