By the time I was 16 years old I was completely taken by Punk Rock. Every weekend I was driving to nearby cities and searching record stores, pawn shops, thrift stores, and anywhere else that may have any type of old Punk CD's or LP's. My best find? A sealed copy of Social Distortion's 'Live At The Roxy', complete with the original price sticker from CD Connection where I can only assume it was stolen from. 'LaTR' was a live album where the lead singer curses at the audience and talks of excess. Plus, it was recorded in fabled Los Angeles.. needless to say for the next two months, that album was on endless repeat.

To rewind a bit, I first heard about this album (also known as Lost Tracks Vol 2) on said message-board from the Webmaster. He told me about a deleted album that he had got from one of the band's web-developers (as my memory serves). This was a demo version for what almost became the album 'White Light, White Heat, White Trash'. But most importantly, many of these songs had never seen the light of day. He didn't feel comfortable sending it via the internet, so he agreed to give me a physical CDR of it after a show in Columbus Ohio. I was more excited about getting the album than I was the damn show I was attending.

Now, some of these songs did end up on other releases. 'Crown of Thorns' and 'Don't Drag Me Down' in particular did end up on the eventual release of 'WLWHWT'. Other songs like ' I'm in Love With My Car' and 'Dope Fiend Blues' would also go on to be released on Ness' solo album 'Cheating at Solitaire'. I'm personally a nut for demo albums because it sheds light on the recording/songwriting process of the artist, and this version of 'Dope Fiend Blues' is an excellent example of that. This version is acoustic and laid back, you can tell Ness was concentrated more on structure and composing than he was getting the emotion out. Listen to this version, then go hear the final version of the song and listen to the anger in that voice.. night and day difference.
