Notes:
Adrian remarked himself about these demos: "This is where the solo work really began. Along with a hand-full of songs that included Lone Rhino and Buy That Face this demo was manager Stan's first real attempt at landing the elusive record deal."

This tape was given to Hans when Adrian stayed at his place in New York City, supposedly on November 8, 1981.

Thanks to syncopatico for all additional information.
Pitch corrected by +10.5% as per his advice. Really sounds a lot better now. Thank you!
