Primus - Sucking Songs (1986 Demo)

This is the first release by Primus ever, as described in the Electric Grapevine book. The demo is also known as the Primus Sucks Demo Tape, and predates the Sausage tape by two years. It was recorded at Dancing Dog Studios with Lauren Miller as Engineer. “Sgt. Baker“ features different lyrics and “They“ is an early version of “Eleven“. “Welcome To This World“ is not apart of the original tape tracklist, but is another high-quality demo recording from the era added as a fun bonus. Label has hand-written track titles and contact information by Les Claypool himself, and he also drew and designed the cover artwork. The tape was created with the intention of receiving airplay at radio stations and also to distribute at the early shows. This tape now resides in the collection of Frankie. 1) 0:00 - Tommy the Cat 2) 4:45 - Temporary Phase 3) 10:46 - Sgt. Baker 4) 15:16 - They 5) 20:01 - Welcome To This World
