Notes

Steve Winwood: 'Back in the High Life' demos; 1986
Higher Love | My Love's Leavin' | The Finer Things | Freedom Overspill | Wake Me Up on Judgment Day | Take It As It Comes | If That Gun Is For Real (unreleased)

Great work in progress tape. Especially nice version of The Finer Things. "Gun" was co-written by SW and the sadly departed Viv Stanshall. Lyrically less abstract than normal, in fact quite hard-hitting with lines such as "If a thing is worth having, it's worth stealing." Musically it's quite ragged with some decidedly dodgy rhythm guitar.
