Bachelor No. 2 o, the Last Remains of the Dodo ( estilizado como Bachelor № 2 o, los últimos restos del dodo , también abreviado como Bachelor No. 2 ) es el tercer álbum de estudio de la cantautora estadounidense Aimee Mann , lanzado el 2 de mayo de 2000. El álbum se destaca por el hecho de que Mann inicialmente no tenía una compañía discográfica y vendió el álbum a través de su sitio web, pero el álbum obtuvo un lanzamiento mundial y logró ventas respetables. A ello contribuyó el éxito de la banda sonora de Magnolia , para la película homónima de Paul Thomas Anderson , con la que el disco comparte material.

El primer lanzamiento fue un EP de avance limitado de 7 canciones que se vendió en conciertos y a través de su sitio web.
El álbum completo estaba programado para su lanzamiento a través de Interscope , pero no creían que el material tuviera atractivo comercial. Mann volvió a comprar los derechos de "seis cifras" y comenzó a vender el álbum en línea. Fue uno de los primeros álbumes en tener éxito con solo ventas en línea, y finalmente vendió 25,000 copias desde el sitio web de Mann. Después de llamar la atención, un acuerdo de distribución a los canales minoristas tradicionales llevó a ventas que superaron las 200.000. [1] A partir de 2008, las ventas en los Estados Unidos han superado las 230.000 copias, según Nielsen SoundScan . [2]
La versión japonesa del álbum contiene material extra, la versión europea tiene una lista de canciones diferente y material ligeramente diferente. El álbum fue remasterizado y lanzado en 2004 por el sello discográfico audiófilo Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL) como un SACD estéreo híbrido y como un LP en vinilo virgen de 180 gramos.
El álbum vio un relanzamiento en LP de vinilo doble para su 20 aniversario como parte del evento del Viernes Negro del Record Store Day el 27 de noviembre de 2020. [3]
