The Trials and Tribulations of Russell Jones is a compilation album by Ol' Dirty Bastard, released in 2002. It was released without ODB's supervision because he was incarcerated at the time. The album includes remixes of previous songs recorded earlier in ODB's career. This is considered by some people to be his third album. This album does not feature a single member from the Wu-Tang Clan and is widely considered a bootleg. When RZA became aware of the album he had it immediately pulled from store shelves.
