Complete list of demos and their sources?

[Manic Street Mike]

I've found loads of demos online over the years and I'm wondering where they all come from.

Does anyone have a complete list and their sources?

Guessing most of them are bootlegs.

One was a bootleg CD called "lipstick traces" I think (not the later b-sides compilation with the same name)

According to the Everything book they were mightily pissed off that that stuff (things like Go Buzz Baby Go) came out.

I've got that on vinyl, black and white cover?

I've obtained stuff like Dying a Thousand Deaths and Sunglass Aesthetic. Any idea where that's from?

The last 4 albums has deluxe versions with the second CD being demos(and in the case of Futurology also some extra songs).

GT had that boxset with demo sessions before they recorded the album, and the reissues(10 year deluxe versions) of EMG and HB has 2 demos in there as well. I think that's it. Isn't it?

Officially yeah, I think that's everything.

One more thing I can think of - the Postcards shoebox has a casette with a very strange demo of It's Not War on it... completely unlike the normal song. As in, same words to different music, Nicky singing.

Wouldn't mind hearing that.

Theres also a demo of indian summer, that was released as a download.

It's on youtube somewhere, it's a Nicky demo more akin to Everything fades or whatever the last track of zeitgeist. James's version seems to be off the mark to translating the tone of the lyrics.

Listening to it, I'd still say that's James playing the acoustic guitar.

I generally like nicky singing, but that...urgh. Half the time it feels like they record 'demos' for the special releases.

Except for the holy bible ...

Well yes, newer stuff.

I found a bootleg years ago called 'Turning Rebellion into Money' that had the Horse and Groom gig on it plus a whole load of early stuff like Sun Glass Aesthetic, Go Buzz Baby Go, Whisky Psychosis and some stuff that did see the light of day like Soul Contamination and Dead Yankee Drawl. Will try and find it out.

Well that's the thing now. The last few albums have had it as standard so I wonder if they record them thinking "better not make this too shit, it's gonna go on CD2"

Whereas back in the day it was cool to hear stuff like Go Buzz Baby Go or even Acoustic EMG songs as we weren't really meant to.
