Bass player Stuart Hill and drummer Mike Russell had just recruited Chris Matthews to play guitar in their fledgling hardcore band Stüge (1984-86) when they suddenly found themselves in need of a new singer as well. Matthews suggested his friend Craig Wedren for the role. At the audition, Wedren’s style clashed with the style of the band’s previous singer, but the group all sensed that they might have stumbled into a “chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter” situation with intriguing potential. The group changed their name and headed into new territory. Side A of this LP is comprised of five songs from one of their first recording sessions together. The tracks chosen are songs that were only released on demo tapes, never to be re-recorded for future proper releases (this version of “Too Little, Too Late” did appear on the local punk compilation FR-5 in 1987). Side B consists of four tracks that were originally released as their first 7-inch release, the It Was Arson EP, a split release by Sammich\/Dischord Records. Included at the end of side B is a version of “Take The Child” from this session (later re-recorded for their first album in 1988).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDemos 1987\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eCure Song\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eCloak Of Wine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eThou Shalt Not Kill\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eLike A Cat\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eToo Little, Too Late\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt Was Arson EP\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eQuestionable\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eAbysmal Yellow Popcorn Wall\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eRo\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eIt Was Arson\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"trackTitle_CTKp4\"\u003eTake The Child\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":42020089757811,"sku":"","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/ScreenShot2024-06-22at12.32.45PM.png?v=1719077583","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/shudder-to-think-1987","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
