Martin James asked Liam Howlett about the tracks on this demo cassette and Liam replied that he didn't know which tracks were on there anymore really. Martin promissed me that he will ask Liam about the titles again. That's all I'm allowed to say about it for now.

There will be a full tracklisting hopefully on my web site soon, but when I can't say. I'm waiting for a reaction from Martin first since I don't want to publish wrong information. I know the titles of all tracks from the demo cassette except one at the moment and I also hope to find out the missing title via Martin from Liam.

Haven't heard the cassette. Liam Howlett claims that he doesn't have a copy of it anymore and no one seems to know much about it really. I personally think that a higher placed person at XL-Recordings has the cassette and Martin James seems to agree with me on that. A good friend of mine asked Liam about it once and Liam came up with nine titles out the supposedly ten tracks. Another guy I know asked Liam about this as well around the release of One Love and back then Liam only mentioned eight out of ten tracks, but they match the list which I got from that other friend. That's all there is to say really besides that both people are reliable sources in this and that now I'm waiting for a reply from Martin.

I know nine out of the supposedly ten tracks by name. I haven't heard from Martin James for ages, but maybe that's because of his account problems (see Neko's web site). I need to be in touch with him again before listing the tracks. I should write him another e-mail since he didn't reply to my last ones. I'll write him soon.
