* AMAZING sound quality!

* Many people have heard the two tracks from this demo, "House Of Pain" and "Runnin' With the Devil", and have commented that the tone is very different than the WB demos and eventual pressed versions. This is extremely evident throughout this set of demos. Eddie's guitar tone is far from what it was to become and there are several instances of multiple guitar overdubs. In some cases, there are as many as three guitar tracks at one time and some solos are actually laid over one another at times.

* Dave's vocal delivery is dramatically different on many tracks such as "Babe, Don't Leave Me Alone" and "Somebody Get Me a Doctor.

*"Runnin' With the Devil" is slightly different that the version that normally follows "House of Pain" on the other boots. This version starts with the band singing the chorus in the fourth measure of the song, before any of the verses are sang.

*There are a few very slight, almost unnoticeable drop-outs in a couple spots of the disc. Also, there are two strange skips in "Let's Get Rockin'" where about three seconds of a phrase is back tracked and repeated.

*Track 3 is listed as, "House In Pain", on the artwork.

*Track 6 is listed as, "Lady Loose", on the artwork.

*Dave noticeably sings Track 7 as "Big Troubles".

*Track 9 is listed as, "Baby Don't Leave Me Alone", on the artwork.

*All in all, 4.99 out of 5! A recording that puts the WB Demos on "Looney Tunes" and "Blueprint" boots to SHAME! Even the "masterered" tracks on "Looney Tunes" don't have the crisp, clear sound that these tracks have. 

ZERO GENE SIMMONS DEMOS (UNRELEASED)
Van Halen when they were young and raw.. trying to get a record deal. Amazing Sound Quality. This was before the guys hit it big and the youthful energy and enthusiasm shows throughout. This is one of the cleaner sounding recordings of early Van Halen available. This is basically a "must hear" recording.
