Label GB

Demon is a UK 80s New Wave label that was founded by Elvis Costello, Andrew Lauder, and the company behind the label in 1980. In 1998, the label was acquired by Music Collection International and merged with its Westside Records operation. Today, Demon forms part of the Demon Music Group Ltd.

Tim Buckley was a folk singer/songwriter in the 1960s and early 1970s. He experimented with music and improvisation, as seen in his albums "Lorca" and "Starsailor". Despite his efforts to transition into pop music, he faced little success. His later albums went unnoticed by critics and the public.
Tragically, Tim Buckley passed away at the age of 28 due to a lethal combination of celebratory binge-drinking and a heroin overdose. This occurred the day after completing his final show on a USA tour in Dallas, Texas.
Buckley is also known as the father of singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley, who tragically died young while on his way to achieving musical success in the 1990s.

Tim Buckley

This is the first ever release of these four Tim Buckley demos, mastered from the original tape by Bill Inglot and Dan Hersch. They are believed to have been recorded in 1966, after the Orange County demos of November 1965, but before the recording of debut album Tim Buckley in August 1966. The annotation on the inner sleeve has been written by LA-based Buckley expert Pat Thomas. He has interviewed Larry Beckett, Buckley’s school-friend, and co-writer of many of his early songs, including three of these. Beckett identifies the lead guitarist as Brian Hartzler (rather than subsequent mainstay Lee Underwood), the bass player as Jim Fielder (later of Buffalo Springfield, The Mothers, and Blood Sweat and Tears), and the drummer as possibly himself. Three of the four songs (It Happens Every Time, I Can’t See You and Grief In My Soul) on this EP were re-recorded for the debut album with a different set of musicians – this release affords the Buckley fan the opportunity to hear the songs before Buckley signed to the Elektra label and the professionals got hold of them.
