Kitchen Demos by New Fast Automatic Daffodils aka New Fads
A compilation of the first two New Fast Automatic Daffodils demo cassettes recorded in 1988 in the (in)famous Kitchen in Hulme which went on to be the true birthplace of Acid House in Manchester. Features demo versions of the first three singles.'Lions", "Music is Shit (Pt1&2), and a long lost version of "Big". (The original demo we thought lost for the past 30 years) . There are five other unreleased tracks that formed the basis of their early live sets. The Artwork uses the brilliant woodcut by Joe McCullough and went on to feature in all the early Fads visuals from T-Shirts, Flyers, and Posters.
