Batman Demos

A few months back I downloaded a Batman era boot with supposed demos of most of the Batman songs (Trust, Vicki Waiting, The Future, etc.) and was wondering if they are legit? Here's the cover art:

The demos look pretty iffy - there are a few alt versions/mixes of some of these but most of those listed as "demos" here - nah.

A couple of out-takes, official mixes and DJ promo mixes looks like the most legit things here.

I am 99% sure there is nothing new here outtake wise that you have not heard before

Don't be fooled, Some tracks listed as Demos are "Fan made mixes"

Cant believe my purple psychedelic pimp slap pimp2

Fan made or not, I always thought the "unreleased extended" version of Batdance was pretty decent.

Oh OK, thx smile

Could it be these awful "demos" that were alongside a Nude Tour concert on a double CD boot in the early 90's which were nothing but the album versions played on a terrible sound system and rerecorded with a terrible mic to sound like demos falloff

I'm pretty sure i picked up this release *1 half only* and they were fan mixes
I believe the people who did the remixes also had done similar projects with various P songs smile

Fan remixes don't bother me near as much as fan-made "extended mixes." There's nothing worse than a twelve minute version of "Strange but True" with a shitty synth solo in the middle or a fourteen minute "The One (Original Version)" with a bunch of casio orchestrations layered on top. The Dawn 4.1 and The Extended NPR Experience are not the same.

It's a fan boot I downloaded from somewhere. It's fairly retched. Someone sat in their bedroom and augmented some tracks. It's part looped-remix, part fan jam session. I don't know who made it.
