For those of you looking for 'It's Only A Movie', it's on the Get Crazy OST.  Yes, they used Marshall's demo.

Wow, what a long journey.  A few people have asked me about this, I seeded it years ago somewhere else before Marshall issued the 9 Volt collection and the 2 cd first album.

The cassette was lost and the cd I kept broke.  I could not find it on my hd.

Finally years later, I found the stuff on my hd.  I had done the re-eq work to make them listenable, but nothing else.  I fixed the speed so they sound like Marshall singing instead of a chipmunk.

Put it on my portable hd.  Just in time to avoid my hd crash last week.  This stuff must have had a curse on it.

General comments:  all the versions of this come from the same crappy tape source, I'm sure.  The first 3 songs are worse than the rest and if you listen closely, you can tell theses tracks came from

different sessions.  My personal opinion was that the first 9 or 10 tunes were one session and the most of rest were done later, but he put in some tracks that were recorded earlier.
