ROB SEZ: After Split Enz and before Crowded House, there was the short-lived Mullanes (Mullane is Neil Finn's middle name). After dismissing guitarist Craig Hooper and refining the band's sound, Crowded House was born in late 1985. In this rare recording, you hear the origins of Neil Finn's most popular musical vehicle. Mega thanks to the taper, Atlasstar and simplewisdom for sharing, and the amazing Janemusic for providing so much rare Enz/Crowdies/Finns music over the years.

ReplyDeleteCrowded House - Rare Early Demos (c. 1984-’85)
Sound quality VG to VG+
Almost all the known early-era demos were remixed, remastered and released as part of the 2016 deluxe reissue of the debut album. To be completely accurate, most of them come from the pre-Crowded House era when Neil Finn & Co. called themselves The Mullanes. Probably recorded in Australia in 1984 and/or 1985.
Here are a handful of demos that have never been officially released. (We collectors and completists have to have ‘em!)
Big thanks to Atlasstar and simplewisdom for sharing.
01 My Darkest Day (early demo)
02 Walking On the Pier (early demo - skeletal version)
03 Love You 'Til the Day I Die (earliest demo)
