This is the bands second demo tape, this time recorded At Studio Unisound (a mix and mastering suite operated by Dan Swanö, the studio was later relocated into Swanö’s home in Örebro, Sweden), Finspång, Sweden 10-11/7 1993. This was also the first of quite a few Millencolin releases to be recorded and engineered by Dan Swanö.

“Flippin’ Beans” was also on their first demo tape “Goofy” (later re-recorded on the comp. “Teaching You No Fear”). Quite a few of these songs where later re-recorded. “Melack” on “Use Your Nose”, “A Bit Of Muslin” on the comp. “Epitone”, “Yellow Dog” on “Skauch”, “An Elf And His Zippo” on “Move Your Car” and “A Whole Lot Less” on “Skauch”.

The demo was released in two different versions, both with the same track listing.

Nikola-version

Released 1993.

Notes:

This is the first version of the demo where Nikola is listed as the band contact. As Nikola got quite a lot of questions being listed as the band contact the other later version has Erik listed instead.

This version, as seen in the image gallery, has a full fold-out page printed on both sides, one with the lyrics and one with the cover, insert and a thank-you list.

The lyrics page also features the “yellow bird” (in black and white) for the first time on any release.

Erik-version

Released 1993.

Notes:

This is the second and later version where Erik is listed as the band contact. It has significantly less information with less than a half page printed only on one side. This release also features the “yellow bird”, only this time in a slightly rougher version.
