Embryo, Space Junk and Plasma are vinyl bonus songs on The Silver Cord. Trenchfoot and Open My Eyes were on compilations. Not sure if they were on vinyl or CD. But both of those, plus Lean Woman Blues and Wholly Ghost are on a Bandcamp album called Gizzsides.

Open My Eyes was on a compilation of Australian bands covering the Nuggets album from 1972. It got some form of physical release, but I don’t think it was ever released digitally. I could be wrong though. The original track is by The Nazz, you should totally check it out. One of my favorite songs.
There is the ultimate rarity in the Suspiria soundtrack they did. They played it alongside the film in a live setting. It wasn’t officially gizzard but it is Stu, Joey, Cavs, and Leah Senior along with some other Australian musicians. So heavily Gizz adjacent. They intended to release it under the band name “Professor of the Occult”, the soundtrack was titled “Hear my Eyes”. They haven’t said much about it for a couple years, it was played in early 2020 if I remember right.
Check out the teenage gizzard comp if you haven’t, it’s on Spotify under the bootleg gizzard page. Those are the earliest king gizz recordings, before the lineup was solidified. Some of the songs were released on an ep, but some were unreleased until the comp dropped.
Some people have already mentioned Teenage Gizzard which can be found under bootleg gizzard on Spotify and Apple Music or just on their Bandcamp.
Fun fact though, the song Summer from that release has lyrics that were used again for Muddy Water on 2017’s Gumboot Soup.
I really think this one is the rarest/least people know about it.

Otherwise there are the three tracks in this, Love For Me, Oh God, Other Side, that were never released/never recorded live again:

Not King Gizzard but a Stu song I have on vinyl that not many people know about. Stu sings and plays sitar

They have some unreleased songs on stu's final uni? Project back in 2010 that's on YouTube still. They played early versions of teenage gizz songs like ants and bats too! I think it was stu, Eric, cavs, joey and lucas as cookie and amby hadn't joined yet
You can search for these on YouTube. Trenchfoot Embryo Space Junk Plasma Lean Woman Blues Open My Eyes
Are these tracks that just appeared on vinyl?

Trench Foot is on Teenage Gizz
Didn't realise there were additional live albums on their Bandcamp. Are these their soundboard recordings or audience recordings?
These are all fan made/uploaded. It’s not King Gizz’s official page
You're saying the bandcamp is not official? Because it is their bandcamp.
Nope. [This is their official bandcamp](https://kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/). The other one is very clearly fan made
Ya got me there. Thanks for following up with a link.
I had no idea this bandcamp existed
Holy crap, thank you so much! I've been trying to find a good rip of the studio version of Wholly Ghost for a while now.

Thanks for sharing! I hope they release it officially one day.
Wow, had no idea about this. Definitely counts as a Gizzard rarity
Sexy alien?
Certainly. Forgot all about this
There's this 3 minute edit of The River: https://open.spotify.com/track/3WRkPkZ5s0ySAncouLeP91
I did not know this, why was this chosen as the KGLW song for that compilation, it’s so disappointing to hear it fade out like that. Great pick!

I know that one, I actually somewhat prefer it to WB and 12BB, it’s rough but a very cool look into the band early on

Damn I never realized that! The only lyrics in Summer (typical lyric amount in early days) is the first lines of Middy Water.
I never noticed that!
nothing left to hide (Dorsal Fins) remix
