do-wop!
has anyone else ever thought that Lindsey and the group originally planned for Mirage to be a 50s-inspired blues/do-wop-ish kinda album? Nearly all the songs, in their early stages have a rough early-school rock/blues sound, that is just amazing... Somehow, most of these tracks ended up sounding more 1982 than 1952, but a few tracks remained (oh Diane, wish you were here...) Anyway, I LOVE these old demos and outtakes. Kinda wish the final product had retained some of this wildness.
