Description from Terminal Escape:
The tape simply reads Decca Demos '78/'79, and rarely have two exterior words done such a lackluster job of describing the awesomeness of the interior. I realize that ADAM + THE ANTS aren't exactly an underground phenomenon, but the early material is next fukkn level. "Bathroom Function" is a saucy churn. "Xerox" hits like HAWKWIND doing a Rough Trade in-store. "Rubber People" should be a KBD burner with that weird ass slightly off time rhythm guitar. "Red Scab" bleeds Bowie whle "Friends" drips Dury. Way ahead of their time and/or on an entirely different plane - as much as the "Strip" video blew me away when I was eleven (it was the first music video I ever saw) this is what alternative rock should have been.... DECCA DEMOS '78/'79
