Information
Either an untitled demo or a demo with an unknown title, a copy of it was appended to a radio recording of Muse's 1997 Soundwaves Festival performance and distributed in tape form shortly after said performance.[1] Through this information, we know that the demo was recorded by "shortly after"[1] the 15th August 1997 Soundwaves performance, thus it was recorded in 1997 or earlier.
A digital copy of the tape was released in September 2009, after the tape had become lost in the post. A digital copy had originally been intended to be made in the same manner as that of the Newton Abbot demo, after Andrew 'a-loonatic' Stone was impressed by the community organisation through which the latter was made possible. The tape was sent via Royal Mail to paul_nicko, but never arrived. After waiting for some time for the tape to be recovered, Michael Stone decided to upload his mp3 copy to paul_nicko's server, in order for it to be enhanced by Paul and then released.
The demo is unmastered and appears to be a raw studio recording, still including talk between the band and and a false start on "Showbiz" after Dominic Howard's drumstick breaks, though the "Do We Need This" demo seems to be an unmastered version of the one that got released.
