Does anyone have any more information on this or other hip demos?
Track List:
01. She Didn't Know
02. When the Wait Comes Down
03. New Orlean's Is Sinking
04. She's Got What It Takes
05. I'll Believe In you
06. Rain, Hearts, Fires
07. The Hailstone Hands
08. Nuclear Bar-B.Q.
09. Just Another Midnight
10. Three Pistols
11. Leather Man
12. It Came 'Round
13. I'm O.K.
14. Times Are Passing Us By
15. Juliet.
16. Running For My Life
17. On The Shelf
Some of these originals are incredible and pretty sure never played live most of them anyway.

thats wicked thanks chris. i would say 87/88 not 86 as well. its like the drums have the sound they would on up to here, but the guitars are using chorus effects like on the EP. though i questioned the guitar boys once about using chorus, and they claim to hate it and have never used it. but its all over their ep on every song and these demos. LOL i have no idea.

i had a theory about it being other songs recorded during the EP sessions, but that's probably wrong (i was saying based on the guitar sound, and the information provided, which may or may not be wrong).
i now think the more likely thing is that it was a kind of Up To Here demo tape

After reading the following Rob interview, I assumed that these tracks came from the 22 that were recorded during the EP sessions.

meh either way it still rules and is a good piece of history with a large chunk of largely unknown songs and in a decent gen. cant ask for much more than that.
