SO MISLED (Demo Instrumental) 4:53
[synths, bass and drums, but no guitar and no vocals]
August at Abbey Road Studios in London. Called
'Instrumental #2' - both Gabby and Ansgar think that
this could very well be an early demo for 'So Misled';
drum and bass pattern sounds like an early version of
what Steve Ferrone would eventually do. To be found
on the 'Notorious The Demos' bootleg on Voodoo
Records. Nick: "It was written one night in Abbey Road
studios in London. The reason we went there is to get
the drum sound that had never been recorded before.
There's a room there, Studio One, where they record
all the orchestras".
 
AMERICAN SCIENCE (Demo) 4:39
[synths, bass, drums and vocals - sounds like Nile Rodgers on
lead guitar, but no solos neither the one from Andy Taylor nor
the one from Warren Cuccurullo]
Guessing the demo is from August/September at Air
Studios in London, but the song was already written in
May/June at Davout Studios in Paris and developed at
West Side Studios in London. Demo supplied from
several different sources. Nick: "This was written in
Paris and this was when things started falling into place
for us".
 
NOTORIOUS (Demo) 4:12
[synths, bass, drums, vocals and Nile Rodgers on guitar]

Demo supplied from several different sources.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
A MATTER OF FEELING (Monitor Mix) 5:56

Andy's guitar from this recording can definitely be
heard on the final Album Version. To be found on

HOLD ME (Monitor Mix) 4:30
[synths, bass, drums, vocals and Andy Taylor on guitar]
September 18th/19th at Air Studios in London.
For the album, Warren adapted Andy's guitar. The song
evolved (again), with Warren playing on the final
version, but possibly some bits and pieces from Andy
are still to be heard. To be found on 'Monitor Mixes'
(Tape #65 from Andy's Demo Archive).
 
VERTIGO (Monitor Mix Instrumental) 5:16
[synths, bass, drums and Andy Taylor on guitar, but no vocals]

Only a very little part of this recording can be heard on
the Album Version. But Andy's full guitar riff is found on
both the Mantronix and B-Boy mixes. To be found on
'Monitor Mixes' (Tape #65 from Andy's Demo Archive).
