Kurzbeschreibung
Last winter, while cleaning out the studio archive, I stumbled over a pile of analog tapes that were full of song sketches, demos etc. some of which I had almost forgotten (some of them I had actually completely forgotten). Since the tapes were not in a very good condition it seemed to be a good idea to transfer them to digital to keep the recordings from ceasing to exist altogether. While listening to the tapes after all those years it occurred to me that the material, in spite of the fact that the majority are demo recordings, has an appeal to it that went beyond my personal nostalgia. I considered remixing, editing some of it but people told me to leave the stuff alone and get it out as it is, for God's sake. The fact that most of the multi-track tapes were lost or destroyed made this decision somewhat easier. The selection is highly subjective, and there will be some songs included that some would have left out, others will miss songs I left out. I had to leave out some of my personal favorites because the tapes were in too bad a condition and I might end up re-recording those after all. I included some original demos of songs that were written for other artists. Most of the recordings on this record are actually demos, never originally intended for release, so now don't go complaining about the fidelity, O.K.?All instruments played by myself unless indicated otherwise. This is pure Nick.
