Very good quality demo recordings of early All About Eve material. Two of 1985 tracks never saw the light of day as properly-recorded songs, while the first 'Another Door' eventually appeared as a b-side to 'Martha's Harbour.' The 1986 recordings are mostly songs which would appear over the next couple of years as singles, b-sides and on the band's debut album. Also included is that band's only BBC Radio 1 session, made for the Janice Long show in 1987 in the BBC's Maida Vale Studio Number 4.
