U2 Demo Recordings.

[Aaron]

For the last two months, Aaron G and I have been tearing our hair out researching U2's demo recordings between 1978 - 1980.  We've spoken to a number of people involved, and who were around the band back in the day. We've plowed through a number of books and other references.  We've done everything we can do to make sense out of it all. 

Part I is up now: http://www.u2songs.com/news/the_history_mix_producers_of_experience

Part II should be ready next week.

We hope you enjoy.  We're putting a lot of love into the site these days and if you aren't checking out the front page from time to time you really should.
