The Clash - The Vanilla Tapes (2 Disc set of early 'London Calling' tracks)




Been a while since DaddyRich was here to post and I do apologize for the delay. There was a bit of heat on at the time and I decided to lay back in the cut and wait it out. Hopefully the time is ripe again for the sharing of the jams. I, along with SO many of my friends, wish that recording equipment had advanced to it's present state a long time ago. That way many of the best bands would leave behind crystal-clear recording sessions and not the jumbled mess of clicks and tape hiss that we have all had to become adjusted to when we find a treasure from one of our favorite bands, like The Clash. I have very many rarities and demo collections from the seminal band that changed popular music forever, as well as the life of one Mr. DaddyRich....but I digress. This is one of the better sounding collections of early album tracks and unpolished versions of soon-to-be classic songs that graced the immortal 'London Calling'. And it has a wonderful back-story, to boot..... culled from Wikipedia.

"The Vanilla Tapes were demo tracks recorded by the English punk band The Clash -- in essence, an early version of their album London Calling (although the track Remote Control was a song from the band's first album). Roadie Johnny Green was to deliver the tapes to the band's new producer, Guy Stevens; Green fell asleep on the train ride to the studio. Waking up at the station where he was to disembark, he panicked, and in his rush left the tapes behind. After that, the tapes were considered lost until March 2004, when Clash guitarist Mick Jones was moving boxes and came upon a copy of the tape."

There is reported to be a 37 track completist edition of this floating around the world between some discerning (read as snooty and greedy) collectors and I continue my valiant search and will bring results here, of course. Until then, my dear friends, please enjoy the gestational classic 'London Calling - The Vanilla Tapes'

Peter Tosh - Equal Rights-era demos


Wooooooooord. Ah yes, the mighty Steppin’ Razor himself - Peter Tosh. Demos from his landmark ‘Equal Rights’ album that still gets much rotation on DaddyRich Radio. This one is especially precious to me for it’s presence of ‘Babylon Queendom’, which ranks very high on my all-time Tosh recordings list. Hope you all enjoy as well.

Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Demos


Oh, Peter Gabrie-era Genesis. Just the thought makes me wish I had been born earlier. It's a shame that he's too much of a sacred cow (no insult intended) to stoop to tour with them on this reunion thing they got going. I have read his reasons and can totally understand, but nonetheless it prevented me from buying a ticket. They would have had at least $200-$300 of my money if he had come for the ride. I really have no use for the Phil Collins hits or to hear him sing Gabriel's songs. Not knocking anyone's music tastes - just showing off my idiotic reasoning for this. Enough of that, these demos are from my favorite Genesis album of all. Such epic proportions and depth of emotion that must have launched them miles ahead of their peers upon it's initial release. Can't pick any one favorite from the whole but hearing the songs in embryonic form and even instrumental takes is a pleasure to my old ears. Hope one or two of you kiddies enjoy it to.

The enclosed pics of the inserts will show the track listings for all of you - my hands are tired from typing all night.

Nine Inch Nails - Purest Feeling (Pretty Hate Machine Demos)




The one and only Trent Reznor. One of my favorite albums of all time is, of course, 'Pretty Hate Machine' and you can imagine my delight at finding these years ago. These are especially precious, to my mind, because of the pre-heavy heavy angst N.I.N absent here, that came to full fruition in the aforementioned album. Some of these are markedly different from the finished versions (as they should be) but, to my mind, hint at a more pop sensibility. Let's not underestimate the influence of the music of Ministry, who also started with a poppier sound and after a little soul-searching had found their dark niche, as it were. It all comes full circle when you hear the early music of Mr. Reznor and how danceable it was. I say this not as a slight towards any of his music, past or present. I just love the evolution and am grateful to be able to hear these songs in their gestational stages. I have a few more N.I.N. goodies that will be posted shortly. So , I hope you all enjoy these songs.

Talking Heads - Demos 1975


Any regular reader of the Ape will know that DaddyRich is the first to admit how unhip and late-to-the-party he is on some music. Many years I ignored Talking Heads for no good reason other than that after a few minutes of listening, it didn't grab me. With as much music as I have, if it don't grab me quickly - I got a stack of more waiting that just might. And said album goes into a pile for 'later listening' and with the advent of the sharing communities, my 'later' stack is usually a few hundred albums deep. Oh, the ebarrassment of riches over here. Love the music too much. So, many years after the fact of their splitting up and solo permutations, I begin to give their early work a listen. So, I am an old fool who arrives late - but at least I show up, no? Great early stuff with glimpses of greatness. And this girl has done more work on this demo collection than anyone I have seen - she has the same music disease I have...kudos for her hard work.

New York Dolls - First & Second Demo Sessions


The always over-the-top and enjoyable New York Dolls in their infancy (as it were). Growing up in the late 70's and 80's as I did, my first exposure to anything New York Dolls-Related was David Johansen as Buster Poindexter. You can imagine my surprise when I found he was the front-man for this seminal New York punk outfit. Pleasently surprised, I might say. We already are familiar with my addiction to all things demo, outtake and rartity related so here you go, kids - hope you enjoy. Word on the street is the band is back touring, I suggest you all go out and buy some tickets and merchandise and give these hard-working fellas some money for more make-up and nail polish - I sure will when they come to So.

Oh, the joy of another Johhny Cash album for the friends of the Ape. What an amazing time it must have been in Summer of 1964. The immortal Cash at Newport and the Beatles coming for their first American tour two weeks later. Damn, born too late.

Johnny Cash - Sun Demos & Outtakes



The gift of Johnny's great music continues unabated, eh? Had these for a while but don't recall their point of origin - so I automatically give thanks and praise to SFRP and Mokey Island becasue they are the best. Johnny's period of work at Sun Records stands out for me as the most enjoyable and inspired work of his long career. To be able to hear outtakes fromt hose days is a rare treat indeed - go forth and listen and share!

The Stone Roses - Garage Flower (Demos)


We all know how DaddyRich gets when speaking about the Stone Roses and what they could have become....sigh. So I will be brief before I become overcome with emotion. I am the happy owner of many of their albums and bootlegs and this is an essential part of any collection, in my estimation. I always enjoy hearing the beginnings of a great band and spotting parts where the genius truly shines through and it's evident in so many spots here. Also, as previously stated - I do have many bootlegs and have a question for any of the other Roses fans out there: Do they all sound so crappy? Are any of them soundboard recordings that are worth the while? I don't even listen to mine after first getting them, they sound so horrid. I would love a truly great-sounding show (a la The Smths 'Rank') that I could suitably overplay and adore. Let an old man know...



"In the wake of The Stone Roses success in 1989/1990, the market was flooded with bootlegs proclaiming to be their 'lost' debut album. In fact, they were lifted from demo tapes that had circulated around Manchester between 1985 and 1988.

Musically these early sessions were generally quite rough - although there were some fascinating works-in-progress and numerous songs which never saw the light of day. Most stemmed from the Stone Roses' first proper stint in the studio. This album's worth of material was taped after the group signed to Thin Line Records in 1985, a label created by their then manager Howard Jones. Thin Line drafted in the city's leading producer Martin Hannett, to oversee the sessions at the local Strawberry Studios. But the band and label famously fell out and the sole product of Hannett's work with the band was the debut single, "So Young/Tell Me".

In 1996 Garage Flower Records issued the majority of the Hannett sessions under the title of "Garage Flower". Rumours suggested that Silvertone had inherited these tapes (they were published by Zomba, Silvertone's parent company) and decided to issue them in the wake of the court case and the band's acrimonious departure to Geffen in 1992.

Dismissed by the Stone Roses as nothing more than a bootleg, the release is still a vital piece in the band's early history.

The Garage Flower release finally saw the majority of the Roses demos and out-takes see the light of day but there is still a few rarities to be issued commercially."

David Bowie - Vampires Of Human Flesh (Scary Monsters Outtakes)



Yet another Bowie, for my good friends here. This particular gem is one the rarest of beasts - a great sounding outtakes session of late 70's David Bowie. If you wanted I could innundate you with some crap-sounding sessions but my standards prevent me from doing so. And of course, the search is always ongoing for great sounding sessions from the man. So, I continue to dig deep into the Bowie archives and plan on seeding a few throughout our time here together. Hope you all enjoy and keep your eyes and ears open for much more. At the bottom of this post is an excellent insert which explains in detail the sessions and songs. Did you know that 'Scary Monsters' was a song he had written with the thought of offering it to Johnny Cash? How interesting would that have been?

I am still looking to complete the all acoustic Sisters album and it's proving well-nigh impossible over here - so any help will be appreciated and credit will be given. You know that DaddyRich shares the love. More to come...

The Police - Ghost In The Studio (Ghost In The Machine Demos)



Ok, so everyone is as excited and exasperated that The Police are back together (at least for a tour) as DaddyRich is, correct? What a great sound they had, it's too bad they couldn't get along better at the height of their acclaim. But, sometimes it appears that some bands just have too much individual talent to remain a group for too long - certainly the case with these boys. Too much talent pulling in too many directions. I have searched long and hard for Police demos and rarities and have so far only struck a marginal amount of gold and this may well be the only album of demos I have seen thus far. Truly not too many white bands made reggae sound so sweet. I am sure (as with every band's fanatical fans) that their is some online trading (music snobs) group that will gladly hook us all up with the choicest demos and rarities as long as weprovide them with some Police rarities they don't already have and we will be forbidden to transfer said gems into the ghetto-format mp3 file extension. Screw that, no matter what I get I want to share and will not require someone to have to give me something I don't already have in return. What a world. Anyways - pop this disc in and enjoy my friends. Rock/Reggae has rarely ever sounded so good.

Pearl Jam - Vitalogy Demos July 1994



It's always good to find Pearl Jam demo's and share them with my good friends. Although I am most often trumped by my good blogger-friend Heather B. at 'I Am Fuel, You Are Friends', I still plug away at it. 'Vitalogy' was really the last Pearl Jam album I listened to as a whole. I still enjoy their live concert discs and assorted tracks but no longer just put one on and listen all the way through. Must be getting real old, eh? Two of my favorite songs of theirs are represented her in demo form and I am thrilled to hear them - 'Corduroy' and 'Better Man'. Hope you like it, too.

The White Stripes - Complete B-Sides & Compilation Tracks Collection



Oh those wonderful White's, Jack and Meg. I was never a big fan of the blues when I was younger, as most aren't. It all just sounded a little too dated and didn't move me at all. Many years later, The White Stripes take old blues songs and themes and give them such great life and it sounds so good to these old ears. This was a find at the mighty SFRP (all respect due) and the link there seems dead so I will zip up mine and share it with all you good folks.

Alice In Chains - Publisher Demos 1989



I have searched high and low for more information on these, aside from what already seems obvious - they are demos from 1989. Apparently recorded for the publishing company before they were signed and broke out in their huge way. One of the very best to come from a city that is no stranger to birthing great bands. Sadly, Layne Staley was another heroin casualty from that era, why is herb just not good enough for some people? Anyways, great early Alice here and Cantrell's monstrous guitar chops are in evidence for all to marvel at.

The Clash - D.O.A. (Demos, Alternates and Outtakes)



If Rolling Stone magazine ever got one thing right, it was calling The Clash "The Only Band That Matters" way back in the day. I cannot truly describe the wonderful effect their music has had on the shaping of my mind in my youth. A punk rock band that wasn't afraid to , eloquently I may add, say what they meant. Sure, there was a lot of screamers back then with loads of rage and little vocabulary who had a message as well. But no one could match these boys for energy and vision. They made reggae, ska, skiffle, punk and so many other styles sound so sweet. So, of course, DaddyRich has loaded up on their rarities and gems - and will be posting a few here for other like-minded individuals. Although I already had this one for a while, all praise is due to AlienOnAcid and the mighty SFRP for hooking the world up to the kind stuff. Keep your eyes open here, kids - more to come!

The Cars - Studio Demos



Another one here that, sadly, I cannot find any more information on. It seems there are not a whole lot of Cars bootleg sets on the web. So, let's just say that here is 16 tracks of studio demo goodness for all the demo freaks out there who, like me, can never have enough music from their favorite bands. I guess it would be easy to say that The Cars were an under-rated band from the 1980's, but the fact is they were huge back then. The fact would be that they are largely ignored now as a seminal influence of many of the greatest bands in recent history - especially the mighty Weezer (who Ric Ocasek produced, as well). I may have one or two more Cars collections here and I will post when found. Hope you enjoy, this contains demos of some of their best songs.

John Lennon - Menlove Avenue Sessions





Many people have scoffed the Lennon album 'Rock & Roll' as a mediocre work of a fading artist, grasping at straws. True, he was in a bad place during the sessions comprising this work of outtakes and alternates, with Yoko problems and heroin taking a lot of his creative energies away from him. Still, even as reviled as 'Rock & Roll' was I was still thrilled to play it on the regular at hime as a kid - maybe having adults review albums isn't always the right way to go, eh? It had a great impact on me and led me to seek out some of the seminal influences in John's repetoire. Someof the tracks here are from the 'Walls & Bridges' recording sessions as well and I may begin a Lennon retrospective here soon - we'll see what happens. Hope you all enjoy!

Pearl Jam - Mookie Blalock



Another new one to me. I always knew it was floating around but it had yet to float my way. Well now I share the love and good sounds. We can all thank the great (and still unresponsive) MikePuffy for sharing this and hope we get it out to some people who have been waiting as well. The prices that import record stores are charging for this makes it a duty to us to share it. These are pretty polished-up demos for the debut album "10" and if memory serves, they were recorded at the same time (or nearly) as the Mother Love Bone Tribute album 'Temple Of The Dog' was being put together. Am I the only one who just does not get the (albeit posthumous) big deal about them. I listened to their music with an ear towards appreciation and couldn't even muster up a shrug. Oh, boo-hoo another junkie died and made a few songs - let's lionize him. Sorry, digressing again. What is good from all that is that Pearl Jam was formed and continue to rock. I have also heard there is an 11-track version of this - anyone know for sure?

Pearl Jam - Rough Mixes April 26, 1991


Oh I must in advance thank MikePuffy for making my Pearl Jam collection extra good lately. I wrote to him and am not so sure about his English apeaking/typing skills since he never wrote back. But I can vouch for my lack of Spanish skills - so damn this language barrier of ours, I have a friend willing to teach me Spanish and should take up the offer. But I digress. I now have a few more old rarities from this still-great band and am overjoyed at being able to share them with you all. This first installment (not chronologically, mind you) is the first album rough mixes ripped from cassette that were circulated among the record execs and band members before the debut album. It is quite a joy to hear as well and from what I have seen of their live concert footage - they still work every bit as hard today. So please join me in sharing the next few posts of Pearl Jam rarities that will be posted this week. More to come!
