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

These previously unreleased live May 1968 recordings from The Electric Theatre in Chicago can be regarded as works in progress. In real time in front of an audience, Tim (accompanied by an unidentified bass player and his trusty sideman Carter C.C. Collins on congas) is basically thinking out loud as he moves from one musical and/or lyrical idea to another during this Chicago performance.

Mastered by Bill Inglot, the songs include early versions of "Sing A Song For You", "Gypsy Woman", "Dolphins" and "Happy Time". The booklet features annotation by Pat Thomas, based on interviews with Lee Underwood and Larry Beckett.
