\u201cBefore we got our first record deal,\u201d explains EZ\u2019s founding lead vocalist Donnie Vie, \u201cChip and I had written and demoed at least 50 pretty good songs. It was hard to choose which ones to shop. We basically put together what we felt would be a great record and shopped it as that. Needless to say, the label loved it, so we went to work re-recording it on a grander scale (and waste $200K. Haha). I personally think we could’ve just had this mixed, because most of it was recorded and produced exactly the same way. The songs stand on their own, and this was the way it was done – on our own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chip, who oversaw this project and composed liner notes for the album, declares  \u201c Here are the warts, scars, and tattoos of our labor, when it all started over 3 decades ago!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1987 Demos<\/em>\u00a0will be available on both CD and vinyl starting on May 31! The CD version includes two bonus tracks not available anywhere else – a cover of Hendrix\u2019s \u201cManic Depression\u201d and an original song \u201cRunaway!\u201d
