1000 copies pressed on white vinyl. Extremely rare demo recordings from the alt rock iconoclasts, previously only available on a handful of cassettes back in 1998. Before the rush of their much-hailed ‘Twin Infinitives' in 1988, the formidable Royal Trux recorded an collection of demos. This highly sought-after release features early recordings of ‘Walkin' Machine', ‘Cut You Loose' and ‘Gold Dust' alongside the Neil Young-penned ‘Time Fades Away'. Released in full on vinyl for the first time, this is an essential for any Royal Trux fan documenting the formative years of the influential duo who left an incomparable legacy to admire in their wake. "Royal Trux were nothing if not fearless." Pitchfork.
