Linkin Park
'Hybrid Theory/Early Demos'
----------------------------

On October 24th, 2000, Warner Bros. Records released an album which in 5 short years
would be certified as having 'Diamond' sales status by the RIAA for 10 million units
shipped. Linkin Park's 'Hybrid Theory' blended elements of rock, rap and hip hop and
launched the band to the top of the charts several times. All the while, some critics
would question the band - They seemed to be too good to be true and were accused of
being created by the label...

These early demos, recorded between 1998 and 2000 show just how long the band had
been working at developing their sound.

A Place For My Head (Esaul)
By Myself

- 'By Myself' was previously known as 'Super Xero' in it's other demo versions.

- This CD was distributed to members of the band's street team while they were
still known as 'Hybrid Theory' and was to be used as promotional material.

Part Of Me

- Limited to a pressing of just 1000 copies, this EP was the recording which
convinced Warner Bros. to sign the band and was issued to some of the early members
of the street team to promote the band. In 2001, the band reissued a reprint of the EP
to members who joined their fanclub in it's first year.

- 'High Voltage' would later be remixed and released on both 'Reanimation' and the B-Side
of the single for 'One Step Closer'.

- 'Part of Me' contains roughly 6 minutes of static after the song. At the
conclusion of the static, an unamed instrumental track begins. This track
has been seen on p2p networks and fansites distributed as 'Ambient' or 'Secret'.

- Linkin Park bassist Dave 'Phoenix' Farrell had left the band for a short time
while touring with the band 'The Snax'. Bassist Kyle Christner appears on this
recording in his place.

- The version of 'And One' that appears on the EP is nearly identical to the track on the
internal 'Demos' CD. Both are included for the sake of being thorough.

Esaul

- 'Untitled' would later be renamed 'In The End' and has different lyrics than
those which appear on 'Hybrid Theory'.

- The '&' in 'Points & Authority' seems to be a typo, as several copies of the
CD liner have it crossed out to show the final title 'Points of Authority'.

- 'Super Zero' seems to be a typo as well, the track was previously known as
'Super Xero' and is the demo track for 'By Myself'
- 'Carousel', 'Part of Me' and 'And One' differ from the versions which appeared on
the Hybrid Theory EP.

- 'Rhinestone' was the working title of 'Forgotten'.

- The version of 'And One' that appears on the internal 'Demos' CD is nearly identical
to the track on the EP. Both are included for the sake of being thorough.
