This is the original demo that we recorded ourselves. I spent more time than I should have balancing this recording. Instead of Craig Zingerline we had Seth Masarsky on drums. He liked to listen to this demo in his VW Jetta with the bass turned all the way up. Because of this, he kept on pushing me to lower the overall bass response on the recordings. Listening back, this mix is incredibly treble heavy. One day soon, Ill redo the master on these records and rebalance the sound spectrum. Until then, you guys could pump up the bass on these recordings just like Seth did in his Jetta.;)

This was recorded in my parents basement in Framingham, MA on the famous Roland Vstudio thats now gathering dust. It got us our first real shows at TT the bears and the Middle East Upstairs and got quite a lot of radio play on local stations.

This is what Bill calls the "Frankenstein version" of King Solomon. He is refering to the slicing and dicing I did to make the intro out of a couple different takes. Ultimately, we chose the more cohesive version above, but still, there is something rockn cool about Bill's big voice at end this version.
