The Shame Just Drained or The Shame Just Drained: The Vanda & Young Collection Vol. 1 is a compilation album consisting of studio outtakes, songs from the scrapped 2nd album for United Artist Records, demos and rarities by Australian rock band The Easybeats.

The Vanda & Young Collection and Release

Despite the album's subheading of The Vanda & Young Collection Vol. 1, there has yet to be a second volume released. In 1976 Albert Productions released a compilation album titled The Vanda & Young Story Volume 1. This album featured the same font as on The Shame Just Drained drained cover. Like The Shame Just Drained, The Vanda & Young Story also did not have a second volume released. The album was first released on October 10, 1977 by Albert Productions. It was later reissued by Repertoire Records and included nine more tracks.
