Notes:
this is the full track list of the demo tape some one posted on internet in january for me
and a few other guys but after 3hours where known by whole internet by misstake, warner were contacted and the server shut down, *=Missing(never get them)…
the track name are not mixed up, some songs switched names on the final release.
muffled sound. is that just a bad file quality or it is the actual recording that sounds like that? i haven’t noticed much difference, except that (so far, listened to the first 4) all the songs sound slightly faster.
That’s the same version that’s out there, I believe. Not the best sound and mostly the same as the album versions. 1 has the extra samples, making it slightly better. 12 is a better version as well. 4 is cut on a lot of versions and 11-13 are missing on several versions as well.
No idea what 9 is. Maybe Linda Summertime? I’ve never seen a version with 13 actual tracks - only 12.
[reply]EDIT: According to Wikipedia, Supermanic Soul was released as a single. Is there any truth to this?
No. it was never a single. Bad blood was the only thing released from darkside.

Sad. I don’t think Warner Bros. believed in the album. We’ve already discussed the genius of Dark Side many times and having these demos is a real treat (despite the song of my name sake getting cut off). I even found the shirt with the cover on eBay. I also saw promo copies going for cheap on there, as well as the Japanese version in near mint condition for a reasonable price. I actually like that some of those demos were sped up. Gives it a whole new feel. How Al doesn’t remember making such a masterpiece is beyond me.
Filth Pig had 2; The Fall and Lay Lady Lay. I saw 2 different posters for Dark Side on ebay earlier. I also found the 3 song Selections sampler. And asking Paul for storys from that era is on my bucket list.
The DSOTS promo flats are interesting because one of them features a pic not even in the booklet, but casts a whole different light as to whatever “message” they were trying to make with it in the first place. It was just a shot of some woman’s feet, tied up, sideways, like she’s laying on the floor hostage.
I dunno if it’s just some “cool” pic or whatever with nothing behind it, but it’s hard to fathom that this image was never even widely distributed in the booklet, but to endorse buying the CD?! If it were at my FYE on display, which it was, it really says something because trust me pushing the latest Ministry album was the LAST thing that store wanted to do. Music was really, really bad that year, at least if you went there as frequently as I did (was a brief mallrat).
So, if you buy that flat on eBay or browse it, you’ll see what I mean.
