Preferred the NLY demo on CD2 to be honest. It sounded like a 1st or 2nd take which is more interesting than the other demo's we've been getting where it seems like the songs are born complete. You can hear the song literally coming together in the track warts and all. Usually the band don't let us near their unpolished work and it's nice to be reminded that the band like any other, have to work hard to get a song to to studio ready status. When it's James with his acoustic, due to his natural talent, the songs come off a bit effortless. By that I mean he makes it look easy, which anyone who's ever tried, it bloody well isn't. That said, if there was a third CD with James performing all songs acoustically, I'd have been pissing myself with glee.
