Unrealized Tapes is an album by American musician Eric Dolphy, released in Europe in 1988 by the West Wind label,[1] and in Japan with the title Last Recordings by the DIW label.[2] The album was recorded on June 11, 1964 in a Paris studio for radio broadcast, nine days after the Hilversum session that yielded Last Date, and eighteen days before Dolphy's death.[3][4]

The tracks recorded that day represent the last of Dolphy's commercially available recordings.[5][6] Music from the same recording session was also issued on Naima, released in 1987,[7] The Complete Last Recordings: In Hilversum & Paris 1964 (2010),[8] and Paris '64 (2018).[9]
