The 6 demo recordings on this EP come from their very first homemade tape. The original 1983 "First" tape included 9 tracks and on this 6-track vinyl reissue, the "A Method Of Dance", "Motion Of Heart (Instrumental Version)" & "Lasting Hope (Vocal)" are omitted/not included. All were recorded sometime between November to December 1983 in Tony’s bedroom. A Casiotone 301, a Yamaha MR10 Analog Drum Machine, a microphone and a 2-track tape recorder were used. Only three copies were made, in hand-made sleeves, one for each member. Only one copy (Tony’s) has “survived”. On that date, Tony was 18 years old, Lynn and Avril 17.

Original 1983 sleeve design by Avrilios Koukoutsis.
