John Entwistle – Ruff Mixes (Too Late The Hero Demos)

This is a bootleg of a tape used when John Entwistle was recording his “Too Late The Hero” album in 1979.  The tape was bought at an auction when the recording studio went bankrupt.  It’s just a short selection of tracks, but some turn out better than the final demos, with John playing looser and less of a focus on production.

All these tracks are unreleased.  Finished versions have appeared on albums, and other demos on remastered albums, but they are different from these tracks.

It’s worth noting that “Dancing Master” was the source of this Blog’s name.  I don’t care for the finished version, but this Work-In-Progress version is quite appreciated.

I haven’t included the image of the cover, because bootleg covers are shitty.  These are all MP3s too, because I’m not a prick.
