Name: Something To Remember by firstrush
Duration: 4 min 5 s
Description: This title is still being performed. These original lyrics refer to our booking agent Ema, who secured lots of engagements for us, and whose son Danny led another area show band, from whom we later recruited Ronnie Ward on bass, and Mike Basden on keys, heard in the 1979 Demo playlist. Medium shuffle with very abrupt ending.

Polydor renamed this title to "DeathHold" for placement as side B of the single. Percussion graduate Lynzi featured in marimba solos.

First Rush

Why Witch

Side A of the Polydor single. Drummer Paula Williams (who had adopted the stage name "Lynzi") singing lead vocals. Backwards piano studio effect leads off this title.

Correct title "A Song For You". Fast shuffle, lead guitar and ARP Odyssey synth trade licks.

This Song For You

Four addition demos recorded the next year with the addition of Ronnie Ward on bass guitar, and Michael Basden on keyboards and guitar. From an over 40 year-old master tape dubbed off of the original 24-track studio tape. Very good quality, masterfully restored by archivist Mike Schatzlein, brother of original recording engineer and producer Gary Schatzlien. On this demo, Michael Basden's spooky synth stylings mixed with Mike Sauce's 12-string guitar.
