Blue Murder: Demos. 1987-1988
Description
There is not enough info
from this one, all I can say is that sounds like someone transferred them from
a very old cassette, this one was shared at Dime a Dozen and the guy who did it
did a wonderful review, so is better for me to copy it here for you.
I've been asked very nicely to share these recordings,so guys here they are.
The Band:
John Sykes(guitars/vocals)
Tony Franklin(bass)
Cozy Powell(drums)
Nik Green(keyboards)
Ray Gillen(vocals on 5)
In my archive I had lots of various sourced recordings
of these songs,so I've
picked out the best sourced onces.
The first 4 songs come from the "Early
Voyage" bootleg. The last one from a tape.
Allegedly its Cozy Powell who
plays drums on these, but it can also very well be Carmine Appice.
The recordings of "Riot","Ptolemy"
& "Out Of Love" are all early versions of the songs which ended
up being re-recorded for the self entiteled Blue
Murder album released on Geffen in 1989.
Its worth
noticing that "Riot" has a very different arrangement and also very
different lyrics. The other 2("Ptolemy" & "Out Of Love"
have very similari lyrics but are very different
versions from those later released.
The two other tracks,"Carry
On This Way" & "Lady Luck" have never surfaced in any other
form than the ones on these demo recordings.
Also not that "Carry On This Way" also some
places are refered to as "Rockin'
& Rollin Our Lifes Away"
As usual keep this circulating in best possible
format, and listen to the samples provided before downloading.
Don't forget,if
you dont have that debut Blue Murder album, go buy it
as its absolutely great IMO.
No artwork included.
