Casey Jones Reaction Demos
Very rough demos for an abandoned side project by Andy Cairns and Martin McCarrick called Casey Jones Reaction. The first five songs are now available for download, the others will follow later.
“Serge” and “Apple” were recorded in a studio at the same time as T? b-side “Our Love Must Die” - Michael plays bass on those two. The other songs were recorded late into the night over seperate evenings in 1995 on Martin’s 4-track.
