StaticXero Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 LPA released an unreleased Hybrid Theory 6-Track Demo CD (from May 8th, 2000) with different and unknown versions of some songs. You can read a detailed description and download the tracks here. Thanks to Ginger and LPA for this! Cover: Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Haha 99X in Atlanta...Chris is a popular guy here. I wonder if this going up on eBay has anything to do with 99X just going off the air last week and shutting down... hmm..... These are really cool demos, especially Papercut.

lgr Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 man, I love how rough and raw these sound. i love all the little things that are missing or extra, it's funny how the tiniest little things really stick out since we all know the songs so well one question - why were the band so obsessed with making Mike sound like he was recorded through a bad phone-line?

Geki Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I wouldn't say Dust Brothers is the best demo I have ever heard for LP, but it's really cool sounding. Definitely shines a light on old HT songs for me. I never thought we would get a demo of Papercut, it's really amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorast Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Wait, hold up. This demo is marked May 8th, 2000, and it's obvious that the songs are still works in progress. But wasn't that 12-track Studio Final disc marked May 7, 2000? Unless the 5/7/00 actually meant July 5th. I dunno. Can someone help me out here? In any case the demos are pretty cool. That Papercut ending was weird though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiman Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Sounds to me like someone (at WB) wasn't really feeling the hip-hop parts the songs so they cut them out... just a guess though.

That is really weird, normally American dates are read month, day, year. Maybe Warner went with the majority on this date ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgr Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Unless the 5/7/00 actually meant July 5th. I dunno. Can someone help me out here? my guess is that the Studio Finals are from July 5th. I know I'm biased towards UK dates, but I can't see these songs becoming what they are on the studio finals within a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 It's also entirely possible that the dates of the CD pressings don't correlate with when the recordings themselves date from. If this was a promo CD sent to 99X, maybe these were just the most recent versions of the songs they were authorized to send to people outside the label at that point.

GingerLP Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hey guys, I don't really have too much to say. Firstly, behind the tape on the disc, it does say Hybrid theory and behind the whiteout tape on the paper, it also says Hybrid theory. So, if someone knows the month in which they changed their name officially, this would help. This is a Hybrid Theory era Cd. The 2nd earliest Hybrid Theory Warner Internal I believe. This is the earliest Papercut and With You demo, I think. So, when they make these CDs, they put a date from the day there were made (Pretty sure, hah). The recordings from these COULD be much earlier than May 8. But, probably from about march. I got this from eBay, so I can't give any background history. The seller has a bunch of Warner Internal CDs. I also know nothing about 99x shutting down, I only heard about this today. I would say this is just a coincidence. But an even better explanation for that is.. 99x sold their CDs off to someone before they finished, and this is how the CD has got out. Its just a possibility. But yeah, awesome Cd aye?

Danacky Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Nice find, does anyone think they could doctor the artwork to make look like it originally did (hybrid theory on the disc and on the cover , get rid of the writing and highlighted plaster) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
