TTF & At Dawn Demos

shakermaker05 · Mar 23, 2012, 09:51 PM

Greetings mmj faithful! I have been spending a gorgeous early spring evening with my house windows open, cranking some at dawn & acoustic citsuaoca sipping some Guinness and loving life!

Thought I'd pay this site & forum a visit as its been a while. I visited the store and noticed that there is a demo cd for ttf & ad!! I know this is old news for most of you, but it's news to me! I will prolly throw down some cash on a copy. Before I do, whats the deal on it?? Limited pressing?? When was it released?? Was it by any chance offered on vinyl?? And oh yeah, how is it??!

Cheers!

Not offered on vinyl, originally there was an at dawn bonus disc with most if not all of those demos.

It's really awesome

Oh nice! Well I went to place an order at the bands store as I wanted to give them the support, but shipping was 10 bucks!??? Woudn't mind them making a buck or 2 off shipping but that much!? C'mon! :-(

I bought it off amazon brand new shipped to my house for 10 bucks. Hated to do that, but unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees for me... Keep it reasonable guys!

Yeah the shipping from the band website is quite a complaint

That's a quite a shame! I'll let you know how I like it e wind! Thanks for the replies :-)

Honest Man was the only demo on the At Dawn bonus disc not on the demo package.

Ahhh, that sucks that's one of my favs. I'm really impressed with the amount of material on the album though! I cannot wait to get it! At Dawn is one of my favorite albums ever. The only track I know off of TTF is The Bear (I have Acoustic Citsuoca) so I think I'm gonna skip over those demos til I get the album and get to know the original versions a bit better.

The Honest Man demo is a tad different from the album version as it's only about half as long and it's Jim playing on his acoustic. It really sounds quite awesome, and I keep repeating myself about this on the board, but it's absolutely criminal that they did not include this on the demo package.

I really dig the version, too. Maybe they left it off so as to keep the limited At Dawn special!

Dude, TTF is awesome. Probably my 2nd favorite next to At Dawn. Which means I'd give it about a 9.9 and At Dawn a 10. I envy you for your first listen of it.

It would be awesome to hear that song in a stripped down acoustic version! May I ask where you have heard it if it's not on the demos cd??

I'm expecting good things out of it! I've actually been trying to get the vinyl from my record store for a couple of months now. They had to specially order it for me and it came in and someone accidently sold it to someone else or something like that.

The owner has been trying to order me another copy ever since and now he can't get it. Not sure what the issue is as it looks like the vinyl is still in print to me... I'm getting pretty close to just ordering it off of Amazon or straight from Darla!

Ohhh... this is interesting. I was under the impression that all the re-presses were coloured??? Is the repress straight from Darla black????

BTW guys, I got the Demos Package today! I'm doing my 1st playthrough right now. Really good!!!! I just ripped the songs from At Dawn to my iTunes account. I'm gunna save the Tennessee Fire ones for later ;-)

e_wind · Mar 27, 2012, 09:05 PM

wait are there multiple pressings of colored vinyl? I thought the original was pressed with color...

searchinbig · Mar 28, 2012, 07:22 AM

Original is black vinyl. Came with the bonus 45. (Darla) Mine is anyway. I believe the UK version did not have the 45. (Wichita)

The repress available above is one record is orange and one record is red.

Don't know what the current repress color is.

Thanks for the info. D'you by any chance know if the limited edition pressing is individually numbered (the one with the link of above limited to 1000)??? Just curious; I was on the site and it didn't specify. I'm pretty sure that's the route I'm going to go. I have a weekend trip this week that's gonna eat up all my extra cash, but I will hopefully place an order for one in the next couple weeks. The red & orange vinyl sounds pretty sweet!
