My man Quartermass recently came across an amazing eBay find: Destroyer’s original demo cassette from 1995. There’s not a whole hell of a lot of information available; the album seems to be comprised mostly of songs from Golden Bridge, with a few exceptions: “Dogs Know More Than This,” “Sad Kennedy/Blue Destroyer,” and “Karen Is In Rome,” none of which I think have been circulated before.

I probably don’t need to tell you, but this release is pretty much for die-hards only– these oldest recordings tend to be VERY lo-fi kinda stuff. In any case, though, QM has been gracious enough to digitize the whole cassette and currently has it available for download at his site SevenTenTwelve.
