Commentaire : Le premier disque comprend des démos qui sont plus des « early takes » que de vraies démos, avec déjà quelques effets sonores et presque tous les instruments et les paroles (sur une partie des chansons). Le son est très propre. Seules les coupures entre les chansons sont un peu dégueulasses et empêchent de pouvoir écouter ça comme une version primitive de l’album. Le second disque propose la même chose avec quelques variantes minimes dans l’ordre des chansons. Un seul disque aurait largement suffi.
