was originally a demo tape (with a few more songs.) Same artwork (except black and white.) I used to have it, but it is nowhere to be found online.

So the question is, do we (1) leave it as is (1989 release date, 1986 recording date;) (2) add the demo as a separate 1986 release; or (3) change what we have to a 1986 release?

Get the orig artwork and (3) change to 1986 release.

If the 1989 is genuinely different (e.g. has more tracks, etc.) then add it separately but otherwise not.

The 1989 release actually has less tracks (less room on a 7".) I've searched for the original cassette artwork with no luck.

sorry, i made this live before seeing this post. i didn't realise this rule but now i've seen it's been sued in the past i.e. the wrangler brutes demo. i guess the demo and 7" go under the same name so it's pretty much a reissue.

i found the original cover and liner notes on ebay. i've added them to evidence in the 'Think About It...' 7".

Actually, I made this post after it went live.

The Once Is Never Enough rule knocks out the identically-titled reissue. I updated the entry accordingly.
