OK, never mind any fabled TC demos that may or may not exist in the private collection(s) of 0/1/2/3/any-damn-number-up-to-infinity Trader(s) who like to brag about having them and then say "nyah nyah you can't have it".cocoamix wrote:

James Ray said to me a while ago, that not all of the tracks are complete, some are just in bits.
Id guess if the recent re-issues are a sucess then maybe a re release of gift with this corrosion may happen.
Id certianally rather hear it on an official release

I thought as it was originally released on Merciful Release as a solo effort, it still belongs to

A. Early Hull demo - the one presumably referred to here. a short fragment of the song without chorus or anything, highly embryonic, under 3 minutes. apparently it was recorded both 1) from the mixing desk and 2) "under someone's coat" so to speak. So 2 versions of this demo exist, the only difference being quality. This is the rarer of the two as far as i know. the other one is:
B. Later Hull demo - six versions (see earlier post in this thread). only mixing desk versions exist. robin and a few other people have this one. no one trades it.
which do you have then, diddley2?

I said it in another topic some time ago, can't remember which one. But is the sheer existance of these recordings an established fact? I mean, James Ray is no stranger to us. Is his part in this story clear? Did somebody ask him about it? I read here about a cassette for his room mate Andrew, is that confirmed?
Which of course doesn't answer the question whether somebody has these recordings or not. But it's a start.
Oooh, I really like this story. Gimme more...

The verison I have is a 8 min 45 sec rough studio demo (but very good quality) with vocals from Andrew Eldritch recorded in Hull.markfiend wrote:None of them, obviously.bismarck wrote:which do you have then, diddley2?
When will we ever learn?
I know this because I was recording in the same studio @ the time.
Hope this helps.

In that case I apologise.We've had several people "cry wolf" about these demos; I hope you'll forgive my scepticism.
