WINGER – Demo Anthology [2CD-set Japanese Edition +1] б ЬЗ3+АДФС

HQ

“Demo Anthology“, as the title suggests, is a collection of demos by acclaimed US melodic hard rock group WINGER, a 2-CD set featuring a total of 37 songs recorded during the late ’80s and in between their three classic albums: “Winger”, “In The Heart Of The Young” and “Pull”.

As requested, this is the Japanese Edition including an exclusive bonus track, an out of print release. So we have here 38 tracks, 10 of them previously unreleased / not part of the album releases.
Calling these recordings ‘demos’ is diminishing its quality: these are in fact pre-production demos and in the know of Kip Winger being a perfectionist, sound quality is very good.
While for the casual listener some songs later released may sound very similar to the albums versions, they are not. Many of these tracks contain different arrangements, clock in at different times, and are in different keys than the final versions.
And we have the 11 unreleased songs, all good and deserving to have been chosen for the final track lists.

Indeed, “Demo Anthology” is a stupendous collection from Winger 1988-1994. They only disappointing thing with this release is the lack of liner notes – all that’s here is the cover, a 2-page picture inside the booklet, and one page essay / message from Kip Winger. Fans expected dates / sessions when these tracks were taped.
But the essential is here: great music. The hits and the album ‘inside tracks’ in their initial versions, plus the never heard before songs.

Amazing collection.
