DROP 29

I got this demo from Andy Wake of Medium Cool, and its absolutely amazing. Properly recorded it could even have been sharper than "She Looks Right Through Me"! The guitar-picking in the background is more or less identical to that of a certain Happydeadmen song, can't remember which one at the moment. Anyone? There should be a Waltones compilation on Cherry Red sometime soon, called You've Gotta Hand It to 'Em. Here's what Andy says about this demo: "The version of Eddie on your CD is a demo from 1987 and was recorded at the same time as the She Looks Right Through Me single. There’s also an earlier demo of Eddie from 1986 although the 87 version is the best in my opinion." And this track won't be included on their Cherry Red compilation, so as exclusive as it gets!
