DOKKEN -
Think Of The Days - Demo - USA - 1982
Very early almost pomptastic unreleased Dokken tune featuring keys. Dare I say it's miles
miles better than any of the disappointments on the last few Dokken albums.

WHITE SISTER - Everybody Wants What She's Got - Demo - USA - 1987
-
One of my fave bands ever. More from the White Sister demo songs that went to
deviate into the rootsier Tattoo Rodeo direction. I guess many of us still live in hope of
a new White Sister album.

ARTI TISI - I'll Be There - Demo
- US - 1989
Still not sure why this album was never released despite being on many MTM release sheets. The sooner
things are worked out and this gets proper release the better. All Hail Al Greenwood, Al Pitrelli &
Maestro Arthur Tisi! |

AVION -

Another track from the super rare demo Avion Live tape released in memory in keyboard player Evan Murray.
I notice there is a bootleg of this doing the rounds with a couple songs missing. Here's one of the ommitted tracks recorded at the
Sydney Entertainment Centre in '86 |

JIM JAMISON - Power Over Me
- Demo - US - 1990
It's the singer not the song!? Ex Target/Cobra/Survivor
mega voice Jimi Jamison this time coving a song better known for it's place with Phil Bates band Atlantic.
Why this didnt make the Jamison solo album is anyones guess? Great toon!

BACTERIA (Jeff Scott Soto)- Sea Corpse - Demo - 1992 - USA
This one may scare some people because its definitely un-aor but with the right frame of mind
quite funny. Jeff Scott Soto
in possibly heavy death metal mode with more-so heavy sarcasm much like his Scrapp Mettle opus.
Worth a chuckle but also leaves you wondering Why Jeff Why? LOL - |

FERRARI (Cold Sweat) - Let's Make Love Tonight - Demo - 1989 - USA
Very ordinary quality with this one but a taster of what could have
been with Oni Logan who quit this band in favour of Lynch Mob. |
