This release features rare demo tracks from Marshall Crenshaw, often described as the Buddy Holly of the 80s, a leading melody maker in the power pop world, recorded before he signed with Warner Bros.

While the master is on cassette tape, resulting in some roughness, it's a must-have collector's item for fans. You can fully enjoy the early demo of his debut album, "Something's Gonna Happen," which was later covered by Ronnie Spector. Experience the scent of good old rock and roll, Todd Rundgren's signature style, and the roots of Marshall's cult following. His musical curiosity is clearly evident in his melodies, from opening for Dave Edmunds to his deep understanding of punk and participation in MC5's reunion concerts. It would be a shame to think of him as just the guy who sang "Someday Someway"!

Why not take a peek into fragments of a power pop masterpiece?
