This song stood out in the wasteland of British Indie music in the early 90s. Came up on random tonight, hadn't heard it for ages...

Better than expected but I went back to the Redskins.

Never a bad move.

Never been able to figure out whether i really fancied Jennifer Aniston or not. I think that just about settles the question for me.

My brother had sent that to me a while back and meant to post it.

Great track.

My fave is this one...

Are there many good songs that never made it past the demo stage? Great ideas that were discarded and condemned to rarity status.

These are two that should have been further developed and released...

This went beyond demo, but the Beatles decided it wasn't worth releasing (I believe someone else did record and release it).

I’ve heard a few Weller demos where parts of the song were used later, chorus, melody, etc.. There is another song in this demo but can’t work it out at the moment.

I think the US version doesn't have the good part.

Dylan has literal volumes of archival material that never made it to album. One fave of mine, John Brown, was written and demo'd in 1962 and first released by Dylan in 1995 as a live take on his MTV Unplugged album. It's since showed up on his Bootleg Series releases.

I always liked Carter USM.

I don’t know where the line is between demo and unfinished studio track, but there’s a lot of Elvis Costello gems from the early days that he later cannibalized (often for inferior songs, IMO).
