Ash - Two (Solar Happy Demo 1992)

Ash - Two (Solar Happy Demo 1992)

Information:
- This was Ash's first distribution of any recorded material.
- This was also probably the rarest piece of Ash material out there.
- Solar Happy was recorded in June/July 1992 at Cosmic Ray's 8-Track Studio. However, the studio only had 7-tracks because the 8th track was broken.
- The cover was designed and drawn by Mark Hamilton.
- Solar Happy was recorded just 2 weeks after Rick McMurray joined the band.
- Tim Wheeler's take on Solar Happy: "As far as I can remember Solar Happy is terrible! Rick had only been in the band for about 5 minutes"
- Solar Happy featured very early songs, none of which were never heard of again except "American Devil" which appeared on the Pipe Smokin' Brick demo compilation tape and played live often in Ash's early shows through 1994. Ash also played "American Devil" during a BBC Session at Maida Vale Studios in October 1994. This version was recorded in CD quality along with early versions of "Coasting," "Girl From Mars," and "Jack Names The Planets."
- These were Ash's first 6 songs.
