Notes:
This was originally #'s 5A & 5B of the Roky CD Club.
It has had two names: Demos For Demons & Best Laid Plans.
Since this came out, much better quality of some recordings was found.
Additionally, the original recordings were tweaked with Soundforge by somebody much more skilled in it.
The result is a much better sounding recording all around.
