This Friday's Playlist is a compilation of beloved songs in their infancy, before they were shaped into the definitive studio versions we know and love. It's a chance to hear the raw sketches, the early takes, and the first glimmers of creativity that went into some of the most iconic tracks. Some artists, like The Beatles through their Anthology albums or Pete Townshend with his Scoop series, and even Bob Dylan with his Bootleg box-sets, have graciously shared these behind-the-scenes glimpses into their creative processes.
These demos offer us a fascinating look at how great music evolves, often in unexpected ways. This is just the first of many installments in this playlist series, as there’s an abundance of rough cuts and demos out there waiting to be explored.
Enjoy, comment and share!
