Description:

David Lasley's best demos, which have been hard to find for a long time, are finally available again on CD! This special edition includes the latest remastering, paper jacket, and "Demos" artwork from the original LP, as well as a reproduction of the lyrics inside the booklet! In 1981, David La Roche's music publishing company produced a 2LP promotional set, "Demos", which was not for sale at the time. While not for sale, it was well-received by enthusiasts as a work that allowed them to enjoy David Lasley's wonderful songs and vocals, and in 1999, Cool Sound released it on CD. The original LP was a 2-LP set with 24 tracks, but when it was reissued on CD, Maxine Nightingale and Valerie Carter were replaced with Rasley's own vocal versions, and 18 previously unreleased tracks were added for a total of 40 tracks. The high quality of the album was immediately recognized, and it became one of the top 10 selling albums of Cool Souind's 200-plus titles.
