| Tech Note | ---------------------------- 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. ------------- Tracklist: ------------- 1 A Place For My Head (Esaul) 2 By Myself 3 Carousel 4 Technique (short) 5 Step Up 6 And One 7 High Voltage 8 Part Of Me 9 Untitled 10 Points & Authority 11 Super Zero 12 Crawling 13 Carousel 14 Part of Me 15 And One 16 Rhinestone 17 Esaul 18 Now I See Total Runtime: 70:11.733 ------------------------------- Tracks 1-2 Hybrid Theory - 2 Track Demo CD ------------------------------- Silver CD>EAC>WAV>FLAC Frontend ------------------------------- 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. ---------------- Tracks 3-8 Hybrid Theory EP ---------------- Silver CD>EAC>WAV>FLAC Frontend ---------------- Carousel Technique (short) Step Up And One High Voltage 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. ----------------------------- Tracks 9-17 WB Internal Acetate - 'Demos' ----------------------------- Silver CD>EAC>WAV>FLAC Frontend ----------------------------- Untitled Points & Authority Super Zero Crawling Carousel Part of Me And One Rhinestone 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. ------------------------------------------------------------- Track 18 Wicked World of Warner Bros.Reprise - Ozzfest 2000 Sampler CD ------------------------------------------------------------- Silver CD>EAC>WAV>FLAC Frontend ------------------------------------------------------------- Now I See - Pre-final mix of the track 'With You'. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: - None of the above tracks have to date been released officially - None of the source materials have ever been sold or officially released by the band, it's label or any other entities. -Tags added to all tracks using foobar2000.
