I could just Die Cruisin.well known low rider band innit.
I used to have the skeletal wolves from the 1st lp sleeve on the wall behind me a few years ago.& i remember seeing Kim Gordon in one of their tshirts ata London SY gig in the 80s. I thought the band didn't play London before the Sir George Robey gig i was at. Maybe that was around teh time whoever is talking about up thread.

iirc pretty much all the demo songs got proper studio versions on their 1st EP and LP. I've heard some of the demos on bootlegs - not sure if any of them were actually better than the later versions? be interested if anyone thinks the demos were the superior versions, maybe if this reissue has decent sound quality they would be worth checking out again?

sadly these appear to be MP3/streaming only, but yes in general I agree - the LP versions proper totally smoke all the earlier versions, even the Cows And Beer ones. I'm just glad this exists as an historical document.
