1983/1985 - THE FINAL DEMOS

One of the oddest memory resurfaced from the recent check of Alessandro's archival box is surely this unexpected K7 collection of demos (apparently documenting the last days of the Ciranna/Pizzin Ruins project back to mid '80's)

The 1983-1985 demos

The tape features a selection of quite consolidated songs in RUINS repertoire (although most of them in different version/mix), but also some other ones that remains obscure items still today.

"New gun" was/is a Ciranna solo effort as well as "Young and pretty" (but the latter was almost ready  for the final "band arrangement" to be included in RUINS repertoire).

"Today" was/is a brilliant dark and aggressive Ciranna song, maybe one of the best unreleased and unfortunately unfinished track for the RUINS project.

"It would be nice" was/is the working title for "Nice song" (a beautiful Ciranna song oddly enough wrongly credited to both Ruins here).

"Marry a bad girl" was/is a relatively old song dated back to 1983 with the 4 headed band (some band rehearsals full live recordings of this song have been recently resurfaced from the dusty shelves and boxes too).

"Pierce & Edith" was/is a band short live number dated 1983 and features here Pippo Monaro (bass) and Franco Moruzzi (drums) as very special guests.
