Remarks

Subtitle: Demos And Alternate Recordings

Swingshift Records are known to reissue former releases of old demos

and this bootleg was sold as "1984 Studio Demos With Alternate Lyrics & Arrangements"

Apparently the bootleg was manufactured in the UK and sold as a "RARE IMPORT FAN CLUB ISSUE" to and from the US

Good sound quality.

Allegedly a limited edition of 500 copies, although there is no numbering anywhere on the album,

and insofare there is no proof of the actual number of copies.

Backcover Notes:

"DEMOS AND ALTERNATE RECORDINGS".

Editions
This bootleg was released in two editions of different vinyl colour.

The first edition comes on black vinyl.

The second edition surfaced a few months later and is pressed on dark purple marbled vinyl.

Apart from the colour of the vinyl, there is no difference between these issues.

A test pressing is also known to exist.

It has the same cover as the final releases and is pressed on black vinyl,

but the labels are plain white with handwritten information on them (see the picture on the right),

including the catalogue#, the side marker and the date of production: 11/21/16

Sources

The versions of the songs presented on this bootleg were mainly taken from the Strawberry Sessions in 1984.
