Old cassette recording, so it is what it is.
This is probably the best fully live rendition of ACACC that remains recorded.
Weird mix, MOSTLY bass, no kick -I've taken plenty of bass out and still-, and a few cabling crackles in there too.

Laura's 2nd kick mic/xlr -quite heavy for romo- seems the source of the taped crackle. 
That's how fast we had to churn these out lol.

If there ever was a recording studio called Exotic / Tropic Studios in London, this demo may instead have been recorded there, cause the name springs to mind & I remember it being a different factory-like booth, and rushing two songs out in one day, out of this session with Colin, just to get Polydor and Sony a taste of the band.

Laura Elle : drums
Evan : keyboards, sequencers
Gage : bass, backing vocals
G : guitars, backing vocals
Xav : vocals, backing vocals
