TAKE IT TO ME (ALT. DEMO INSTRUMENTAL) 6:59
[synths, bass & drums, but no guitar & no vocals]
Probably also from April. Compared to the demo from
the 'West Side Studio Demos' bootleg, this alternate
version lacks some drums and has new synths. To be
found on the 'Notorious The Demos' bootleg on Voodoo
Records.
PROPOSITION (DEMO INSTRUMENTAL) 5:00
[synths, bass, drums & accompanying guitar (most
likely by John), but no vocals]
May/June at Davout Studios in Paris. Called
'Instrumental #3' - this could very well be an early
demo for 'Proposition'; the drum pattern is similar,
especially the cymbals. Sounds like a possible 'embryo'
version. To be found on the 'Notorious The Demos'
bootleg on Voodoo Records. Nick: "... one of the very
early ones - the backing track was recorded in Paris
where we wrote the album. It's one of the things
Simon liked when he arrived".
BERLIN (DEMO INSTRUMENTAL) 5:42
[synths, bass, drums & guitar (most likely
by John), but no vocals]
Guessing from May/June at Davout Studios in Paris.
Demo supplied from several different sources.
ANYTHING FOR YOU (DEMO) 3:56
[synths, drum machine & vocals (most likely
by John), but no bass & no guitar]
Guessing from May/June at Davout Studios in Paris.
Demo supplied from several different sources.

A MATTER OF FEELING (DEMO) 5:15
[synths, bass, drums, vocals & Gerry Laffy on guitar]
June at West Side Studios in London. Often mistakenly
assumed to be Andy Taylor on vocals and guitar. In
fact, only the wrong tape speed transfer of the demo
is distorting Simon's voice. Gerry Laffy and Andy had
the similar rock style, and also Andy wasn't even
around at the time. Demo supplied from several
different sources.

[synths, bass, drums & early-'One Of The Faithful'-vocals,

Guessing from July at Maison Rouge Studios in London.
Demo supplied from several different sources.
VERTIGO (DEMO) 5:45
[synths, bass, drums, early vocals & probably John on guitar]
Guessing from July at Maison Rouge Studios in London.
Demo supplied from several different sources.
TAKE IT TO ME (DEMO) 5:23
[synths, bass, drums, early vocals & probably John on guitar]
