POINTED STICKS - Demo (1980)

I just realized that my blog turned 2 years old today, so I figured I better put something up to celebrate, right? Here's a mostly unreleased recording session by the Pointed Sticks, the third and final post of rare Sticks material I have. I say mostly unreleased because "Worse" and "Careless" were later included on the "Waiting For The Real Thing" album that Sudden Death records put out in 2006. According the liner notes of that CD, this demo was recorded at Sabre Sound sometime in 1980, I'm assuming before they recorded "Perfect Youth". 

1. The Real Thing
2. Marching Song
3. True Love
4. All That Matters
5. All My Clocks Stopped
6. Nothing Else To Do
7. Careless
8. All I Could Take
9. Part Of The Noise
10. How Could You
11. Middle Aged Teenagers
12. Worse
13. Love Or Money
14. American Song
15. New Ways
16. Apologies

When Dan asked if I would post his zine on my blog, I was not only stoked but honoured. There's lots of great pics on there that make me wish I was older than ten back in '85.
