WOW....I knew a demo existed, but had never heard it. This is very interesting...glad to hear that it's available to purchase...does anyone happen to know where to find or has the RARE demo version of Girls On Film with Stephen Duffy singing? I have heard that one exists....

[vmanoover]

@torontotatubear Although this version is available to purchase i don't think you can purchase the first version but if you want to hear the song, it's in the side bar of ''related videos'' called ''Girls on film 1979''

This version is much better. The voice is more deep than the single Album.

Can you put more demos versions on your channel.

[vmanoover]

@rugby721 I have demo's for Planet Earth and Ordinary World up. I'd have more uploaded but other uses have uploaded them already. If i did some digging i think i could find some ''Big Thing'' demo's.

Andy Taylor on OVERDRIVE , expect this version was not refined enough for Nick Rhodes, brilliant stuff Andy.

[Whitelight786]

They could have at least put this version on a B-side, instead of us missing out on this one for over 20 years.

This is so cool! Much different than the track version.

If you've heard the very first demo of this with Wickett, and then you listen to this and then the one that was released, you can hear the changes and progression in the song. Fascinating. The chorus of this is definitely still very reminiscent of the original demo.

[MissNovemberTuesday]

@torontotatubear It was Andy Wickett who originally wrote and recorded GOF with Duran Duran.

fascinating how a the song changed from this to the one that wound up on the album. was it a producer or the record company that tweaked it?

[TizzyDebz]

this is so incredibly awesome!! Almost as good as the Planet Earth 12"!

[kray97]

The demo's bass line > the original

[jcravens073]

This is seriously sexy! Much better than the album version!

[drylaundry]

Hell, they should release it now !! show all these new 80s revival bands a how to

[BarrySlisk]

This the first time I hear this version. It's bloody awesome !!! I still probably prefer the album version but this is so refreshingly raw and different! The guitar is great.

Those dudes were Gods of music !
