Really this one is just a housecleaning post that might be of interest to a few extra nerds. You've got one folder with side B of the BUZZCOCKS' Razor Cuts boot, featuring demos from '77/'78, a couple of BBC recordings and the acoustic version of Shelley's "Oh Maxine." Side A? It's good too, but it wasn't on the tape. The BAGS folder is from a tape labeled "Demos '78-'80" and has rough replications of all the hits, plus a murky freak cut identified as "Import Song" that I don't recognize. Sure the tape suffers from a few generations (and a couple of decades), but I give it to you like I've got it...and it's still the fukkn BAGS and this version of "Gluttony" is an absolute screamer.

The correct song title for the first Buzzcocks song is Raison d'etre. It's mis-titled on that bootleg album.

All these tracks are officially released now except Import Song which is just Alice Bag messing around with her keyboard probably making fun of all those Post-Punk bands and records that were taking over in 1980. It's interesting but not essential.
