The songs came out on subsequent albums yet this is the first time they have been released as they were originally intended and fully mastered by Abbey Road. The demos cover the period 89-94 and offer an insight into the progression and development of Lloyd’s sound over this time, from early tentative recordings as a solo artist finding his way in his new home to demos he recorded for Love Story where he embraced a more pastoral English sound.
