SUBHUMANS - DEMOLITION WAR DEMOS

2LP

Before the Subhumans released their first EP Demolition War in late 1981 on Spiderleg Records, they released three demos Parts 1-III recorded in a lo-fi manner in their home town Warminster at the Old Bell and the Youth Centre. These were joined together and released as one tape on Dick’s Bluurg tape label in early 1981. 24 tracks that featuried versions of songs that became the first EP and the legendary The Day the Country Died album. These are in a raw and untouched by a production value. It’s rough and ready and absolutely essential listening. It also includes three unreleased songs the Subhumans never went back and re-recorded. The album comes housed in a gatefold sleeve with lyrics plus a poster featuring a collage of photos and fanzine interviews from this very early era of the Subhumans.
