Does anyone know if any of the tracks from the earliest Them demos made while they were still in Belfast have surfaced for us to check out? I remember they were mentioned in Ugly Things in the Billy Harrison interview and then corrected by a reader as being: Stormy Monday, Don't Start Crying Now, Gloria, Got My Mojo Working, and One Two Brown Eyes (Harrison thought maybe there was Baby What You Want Me To Do and Let It Roll). You'd think a lot of people would want to hear this stuff as the first known recordings of Them.
I did hear a clip from U.K. radio playing a clip of You can't Judge A Book by the Stones circa late October 1962 with the buyer of the recordings mentioning Record Collector magazine. This line up had Tony Chapman on drums... but what of the other two known tracks, Soon Forgotten and Closer Together? Again, you'd think there'd be a lot of interest in these. The clip sounded better than the earlier Little Boy Blue & The Blue Boys stuff although very Bo Diddley imitative of course. Seeing as some early Pink Floyd and some Gene Clark demos are surfacing it'd be nice to see some of the above emerge too, and maybe they have and I'm just way behind as usual?
