I love the vocals on this track

brilliant... thank you!

breakinglassagain top man, thanks for uploading. A great version of an under-rated song. I agree with previous comments, the backing vocals really stand out on this track, but Mr Fripp's guitar is exceptional on this track.

Thanks very much for this. One of my faves by David. Very personally emotional. A few months before the album came out, both my parents abandoned me and for a while had nowhere to go. David was my idol and his new albums were always events for me. Scary Monsters' was like a huge present when it came out. It actually helped channel much of my hurt and anger. Teenage Wildlife was like a letter written just to me from DB himself!

One of his most underrated songs!

I like those back-up vocals in this mix,sounds great !

[dogonaut]

Yeah, this isn't a demo - it's a board mix from the actual recording sessions (a mix of the track before the final overdubs/ final mix)

i wouldn`t describe it as a demo,slightly different vocals perhaps flanged guitar and drum reverb,fantastic song,one of his best. i love the lyric,'break open your million dollar weapon and you push your luck'

the phrase "group of one" is more distinct on this one.

Sounds a bit more like a studio outtake than a demo. The guitars and vocals are almost identical to the album version, the only real difference being the reverb on the drums.
