MISCELLANEOUS

This is the Gene Simmons Demos. There is zero tape hiss, leaving me to seriously wonder if this may have come directly from Gene Simmons' actual tapes. It does just barely get the EX+ rating I gave it.

This is basically the same as "Demo Daze". There are some different tracks, but the rarest ones are on "Demo Daze". The track listing on the back insert is out of order.

1CD AD & SB VG to EX+

This not only has Demos from those years but it also has live songs, never before released original Van Halen, two songs just recorded and still in Demo form on a tape getting an advance airing on "KROQ" Radio Station in Los Angeles, California, along with David Lee Roth saying a few words about the songs and who and how Van Halen were discovered. David Lee Roth personally brought these two songs with him to be played on the air that day. The songs are "House Of Pain" and "Runnin' With The Devil". It also has some cover tunes done by Van Halen in their earlier days before they were signed to a record label, as well as additional Demos of I believe 3 songs in 1974 with a guy named Mark Stone on bass. I believe he was the Bass player before they were signed. If you are a fan of older Van Halen music then you have got to get this CD!

This is a very tough CD to write up. I think there may be as many as 4 different shows making up this release, but then again I could be wrong. Tracks 6-10 are definitely from this night because we hear David Lee Roth announce it as such. All of the tracks are SB and tracks 1, 2, 4 & 5 are EX-. Tracks 3 & 11-14 are VG+. Tracks 6-10 are EX.

5150 Album Leftovers |
1CD SB VG- to EX

This release is different enough to make it worth getting both releases.
THE TRACKS ARE
(1-8) "5150" album outtakes.
(1) 5150 6:05 EX (Tape hiss)
(2) Summer Nights 6:02 EX (Recorded too high creating distortion in the mid-bass. Very crisp)

(6) I Want Some Action 4:15 VG+ (Recorded too high creating distortion in the mid-bass)
(7) Why Can't This Be Love 5:20 VG- (Recorded too high creating distortion. Tape hiss as
well)
(8) Good Enough 4:03 VG+ (Recorded too high creating distortion in the mid-bass)
(9-12) These tracks are "Live Without A Net" video outtakes, and I rate them SB EX, barely.
This is NOT the same version as the video.
(9) Good Enough 6:30. The track time for track 9 on the artwork is incorrect.
(10) Wild Thing 5:05
(11) Rock and Roll, 5:34, is from the second night in New Haven, Connecticut.
(12) Addicted To Love, 1:40, is a short clip edited out of the song, "Best Of Both Worlds", from
the the "Live Without A Net" video.
(13-18) These tracks are soundchecks from the Rochester, New York, that I rate SB VG
(13) Soundcheck part one, 5:59, includes "Love Walks In" and pieces of "WCTBL".
(14) Soundcheck part two, 1:07, is the ending of "One Way To Rock".
(15) Soundcheck part three, 1:11, is Mike and Sammy's soundcheck along with Sammy's
bullshitting with the crew. This track has a constant low volumed rapid tick from the
recorder.
(16) Soundcheck part four, 1:33, includes Eddie jamming, Sammy still chatting away, and Ed
and Sam do a bit of "Panama" with one of the roadies on drums. This track has a
constant low volumed rapid tick from the recorder.
(17) Soundcheck part five, 1:44, has Sammy still talking, Eddie and the band do bits of
"Women In Love", "Black and Blue" and "Whole Lotta Love". This track has a
constant low volumed rapid tick from the recorder.
(18) Soundcheck part six, 2:23, includes Ed, Mike and Sam doing "Communication
Breakdown", "Wipe Out" and several other older tunes with Sammy on drums! This
track has a constant low volumed rapid tick from the recorder.

FOR UNLAWFUL CARNAL KNOWLEDGE TOUR
USA
This was recorded during the USA part of the tour. Track 4, "Rock Candy", is NOT played by "Van Halen", even though it flows from the previous and into the next track nicely. This track was recorded a little too high, but I rate it the same as the rest of the show. "Rock Candy" was done by Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Craig Chaquico of "Jefferson Starship", and someone on drums. They played this song down at the Cabo Wabo Cantina in May of 1992.

Both CD's are indexed as 1 track. My copy came directly from the Master CD-R's, so this is how it should be. Sadly the microphones were overloaded and thus we get alot of clipping. (Sony DAT Master)
