Regarding the demo's you guys have been downloading off mp3, Napster, Gnutella, or whatever, I think you should all know that the reason most of the songs you guys are getting sound crappy is because most of them came from actual demos circulating around the record labels at the time, most of which were only recorded on cheap, mass-produced cassettes which, as we all know, are good for about one or two listens, tops. I have actually been bugging Roger for copies of them for years because, believe it or not, I don't even have most of them! The one I'm dying to get from him the most, are the demos of the stuff we were doing for the second record (oooooooh, wouldn't you like to get your grubby, little paws on THOSE!). Roger's always so damn BUSY that God only knows when I'll get them. I was actually thinking of trying to talk him into letting me put together a little (and unauthorized, Ssshh!) collection of the demos for the fans who, surprisingly enough, are clamoring for them. You guys deserve better than just crappy, second rate copies of them, right? he's got all of them locked away in his closet somewhere, I just have to wrest them from his little hands (I'm much bigger than him, though - shouldn't be hard).
I'll get back to you on this one. Be patient.

: i wonder if that's where the stuff on the c.d. came from - the very nice man (this may, or may not, be sarcasim) who sold it to me was not exactly forthcoming!! What was the sound like on, for instance, could've been you - on the disc it is very muddy - it sounds like it was recorded on tape, and the tape has since warped. thanxs for response through :)
