The Wheel and the Maypole demo recording. Better than the album version, although it is still the second best song of Wasp Star regardless!

Taken from the following CD:
Homegrown: The Wasp Star Home Demos
2001.03.14
TVT 3330-2 (TVT Records/Idea Records)

  • whay xtc

  • @Topographer - Yes, they usually did all their own instruments in their demos, so if the studio version is like the demo, it was written that way.

  • Wow. I'd only just heard of XTC yesterday, but... wow. This song is beautiful.

  • this versions better for sure

  • Wasn't it all Andy Partridge, bass and all, on the demo version?

  • actually posted been havin trouble with ut

  • great guitar

  • I like the 'folkenstein' creations on this album. It's interesting to see two song ideas mix into one awesome song.

  • And yes, Highflyer68, Colin's bass lines in the demo version here are infinitely better.

  • I like the finished versions of most of their demo songs, this one included. I like dynamics in a song, and most demos are spun off of programmed (or looped) drum tracks and you lose out on that.

    However, in defense of demos, for a more selfish reason, stripped down versions of songs that have as much compositional depth in them as XTC does are a hell of a lot easier to learn how to play, since you can hear the key instruments very clearly without 20 string pads and gated reverbs.
