Note 1: Tracks 1-4 are the Crawk Tape. The remainder are the Post-Supersystem Demos.
Note 2: The Crawk Tape was a cassette given away by the band in 1994. They did a series of tapes, the others were The Blue Tape and The Red Tape, and while I have heard them all, this is the only one I got a copy of. The tape was a bit wobbly at the beginning of Contradictions and also one channel disappears for a few seconds during Arm. Also, Contradictions sees the first and only vocal performance by bass player Matt Thomas on any Feelers song. He sings lead vocal, with James Reid singing backup.
Note 3: The demos are demos in the true sense of the word. Some of them are complete, whereas some just end when the band kinda stops playing midsong. But they are very enjoyable, and they really had the guitars turned up loud for these - some of the most rocking songs I've heard the boys do. Only Arm has ever been released, however, this version is quite different. I now have 4 different versions of the song apart from the one on the album...guess they were never happy with it. But anyway, these songs are great. The last track, Chicken, comes across as a bit of a joke song. Feelers gone Heavy Metal, but I digress.
Note 4: I've only guessed at the song titles for the demos. Seeing as 6 of the 7 tracks have never been released, I had no way of knowing, but I think I've done a good job.
