The October Demos

The October Demos were a group of demos recorded in October 2000 as part of Rivers' experiment to find "The Perfect Songwriting Formula". Karl wrote, "These demos are culled from numerous DA-88 8-Track master tapes, and represent the best version recorded at the time. Multiple alternate, unused and abandoned takes of each of the below songs exist, representing many days spent working full time in the little studio throughout much of October."
