To the people who say this is just the sped up version of the one on the album, it is faster but there are parts on this recording that aren’t on the album. So it’s not that, what I think it is, is either a demo or a Alt/Early take.

i actually love this version so much idek what it is it just tickles my brain

September 10, 1983, Oakland Ca. Appearing with The Police, The Fixx, Madness and the Thompson Twins. One great Day (on the Green!)

Are they going to release these officially?! This is amazing.

1:48 - 2:04 I love this part

[@Arhurself]

Cool

[@OingoBoingoTapes]

Hard to tell if this is really a demo or just a sped up, badly taped copy of the final song. It sounds too close to the final

[@Icosahedronmusic]

it sounds off, i think its a demo

[@aceone9474]

I feel like they could be rough mixes. The backing vocals in Whole Day Off are absent, and Why'd We Come is missing its monologue intro; both songs also contain a 'drumstick warm-up', which is fairly characteristic of roughs.

@@aceone9474 I think you’re right. Although the source quality so poor that it makes any differences basically inaudible anyway. I wonder where this and Why’d We Come came from

[@returnofelfojuice8350]

@@aceone9474 yeah the synth line at 1:52 definitely was not in the original. anyway, i got this from a trader years ago who had labeled it a demo, i have no idea where it came from.
