Mac’s records are all done at home anyway, so what you’ll find here is more of a difference in cadence and arrangements than audio fidelity… it’s not like you’re listening to lo-fi 4-track demos of a band that would eventually flesh them out into 24-track prog epics like \u003cstrong\u003eRush\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003ePink Floyd\u003c\/strong\u003e or something. In other words, if you’d never heard \u003cem\u003eSalad Days\u003c\/em\u003e before, \u003cem\u003eSalad Days Demos\u003c\/em\u003e could easily pass as a \u003cstrong\u003eMac\u003c\/strong\u003e album, only with a lot of extra instrumentals. The OG “Passing Out Pieces” features a much louder synth part - this is the ultimate version as far as we’re concerned - while the demo versions of “Salad Days” (drum machine!) and “Blue Boy\" are easy on the ears and a nice alternative if you’ve worn out the \u003cem\u003eSalad Days\u003c\/em\u003e versions.
