The Jerks - Demo 1

 

 
THE JERKS
Demo 1
1988
 
Notes :
Great unsigned late 80's indie rock band from Manchester. Band members were: John Reed (vocals), Lee Dransfield (guitar), Warren Wrigley (bass), David Gill (keyboards) and Andy Price (drums).
Several demo tapes recorded at The Mill by Clint Boon. 'Waterskin' released on the compilation tape 'Kite' and 'Didn't Quite Make It' released on the Bop/Joe Bloggs compilation Hit The North. After John Reed left, Lee Severin from Too Much Texas replaced him and they replaced their set, soon afterwards changing their name to Rubber Orange.

Thank you, I think this is, in fact, 'Demo 2', while ther first demo was 'Liquid Dream', a 1987 release that once was available on Cloudberry Cake Proselytism blog. Anyway, thank you again, even for the Adorable/Revolver stuff!!!
