Robert Pollard - Edison's Demos LP (full album)

Robert Pollard's LP of demos for the Guided By Voices "Earthquake Glue" record. Limited to 1000 copies on vinyl only.
Recorded in one day (actually in a matter of 5 hours, start to finish) on October 13, 2002 at the Warfleigh Labs. These are the original demos for the songs that became 'Earthquake Glue'. Robert Pollard plays all instruments (even a homemade E string click track) and does all of the vocals. 'Earthquake Glue', at one time, was going to be called 'Edison's Memos', hence the title.

Robert Pollard just recorded two albums of new material in the time it took me to listen to this.

Pro tip : watch series at flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.

[@jerryxavier2251]

@Juelz Zander Definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

I never heard The Replacements much in GBV, but I can hear it clearly through Bob’s playing here. Bob’s a wizard

[@leo--4341]

and some robert fripp!

[@lesterhalfjr]

sounds like the world's greatest subway performance

[@theeHeisenberg]

he should've made more CD's like this, and like Tonics and Twisted Chasers

[@moonpark444]

Thank you so much for uploading this, I think the demo version of Useless Inventions blows the full band version out of the water tbh

[@ArthurFSP1996]

Useless Inventions - 10:43

[@chomschombos1036]

Love the stripped down Useless Inventions

[@D_M_Wolfe]

Too bad only few copies were made of this album. Bob is such an amazing song writer. Thanks for the upload.

[@markhower8986]

More reasons to believe. !

[@ThePetraKelly]

Masterpiece

[@harveycasey1900]

Glad that I got curious & started looking for GBV content🤗

[@khaos84]

Thanks for saving me 200 bucks

[@davegibbon]

Stunning

[@Putytand]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING

[@longbeachdave1]

Is there no "Best of Jill Hives" here?

[@wiltoncl]

Best ever version of Useless Inventions. Simple arrangements makes these songs, especially lyrics, more compelling. Thanks!

[@Lanooski]

Robert Pollard Edison, my favorite rockman

[@DanielS-ws9my]

Just amazing. It's almost startling when you hear his non-album vocals sounding so good.

[@gergsar]

this is great - all demos

[@eddieangelmonroy]

campfire songs

[@CS-sf1rz]

luv EG!! so stoked 4 this , thanks!!!?😂

[@andrewmalenda199]

I......I.....I.....can't face you.

[@killingfloor3999]

It's really extraordinary - when you take these "demos" and listen to the "Farley session" cuts from this era, they really could have put together an album that was superior to the Earthquake Glue that was actually released.

[@theeHeisenberg]

how do I get this on CD?

[@revisionscreenprinti]

I have this record and I thought that there were only 500 made.

[@DfactorPop]

Great listening today!

[@stevetothepast]

really nice

[@inigoalana5998]

A true gem (like always). Secret Star is one of Bob's most beautiful lyrics for me.

[@wisedog99]

Genius

[@matpeachey3946]

so great.

[@ichiromito]

Currently up for sale 1 copy of this record.(Not Really, J\K.... is that the term the kids are usbing these days?)

[@franklinalatee5597]

“Beat Your Wings”.... I just have it on repeat over and over.

[@ericjensen9091]

RE release please.

[@zumbrella81]

This "I'll Replace You With Machines" is fantastic.

[@cashlinart]

romantic

[@ichiromito]

One criticism, you're using [DEMO] too much. It's not even any kind of array. Also, Mix Up The Satellite.

[@transistorlatin3150]

ichiromito funny I read this and thought why would [demo] be an array cause it's not even any kind of array
