Echo & The Bunnymen - Evergreen Demos (1997)

Echo & The Bunnymen - Evergreen Demos (1997)

These are the demos from the sessions which created the Echo & The Bunnymen's 'comeback' album from the '90s. The working titles of the tracks appear here and would be the basis for the hits "Nothing Lasts Forever" and "Don't Let It Get You Down". I had always heard about this bootleg in circulation, but I hadn't experienced much difference between the demos and the final cut songs off the "Evergreen" album. To me they were virtually the same and to my ear there was no difference between tracks. Well that must have been because I only had a rough cut or third generation of this boot. This version is clear and contains studio mp3@256 which is fantastic! The original demos even sound rough and more Electrafixion and less Echo & the Whineymen (Sorry The Fountain, is like that). I especially like the demos for "Crystal Ship" which happens to be "Empire State Halo", Antelope, and "I Will Fly Tonight". They all sound better here to me than on the finished album. This download is the best one this year. Superior quality, rough never before heard takes, and virtually none of the production - that usually kills an albums rough spirit. I wouldencourage you to download this and maybe send a special thank you to the T.U.B.E website - where it was originally offered. Many thanks!
