I have found myself in a Picturesque mood lately upon recieving the Old Dogs New Tricks and Live 2008 CDs.
Therefore I wonder: Have the Picture 1980 Demo ever surfaced digitally?
According to Metalarchives it should feature the following songs (of which only Bombers seem to have been officially issued):
1. Nothing in Your Soul
2. Bombers
3. Going Back to My Home
4. Nightmare
Would be really appreciated if anyone could upload this.
I also found some info on other early songs in an interview on http://www.truemetalfan.org/picture.htm. Some of it recorded, some not - also mentioned are a second Picture demo(?). Anyone knows if any of these titles have been circulated lately?
I digged up a few song titles that you never recorded, but they probably were the base to one of your other songs. Please commend to the following songs:
- My Gun Shoots
Jan: "This is originally a song by singer John Boutkan. We never used it, because we only wanted to record self-written material on our records."
- Midnight Away (or Midnight Highway?)
Jan: "I've no idea about this one…"
- Blown Away
Jan: "This was the working title of "You're All Alone"."
-The Blaming Ass
Jan: "The Blame Is On Us". We recorded it for Vara's Popkrant. We only play it live in the very beginning of PICTURE."
- Little Annie (one of the most known songs from this list!)
Jan: "Should have been recorded as follow up to "Heavy Metal Ears", if Ronald wouldn't have left the band. We did record it at a radio show in Steenwijk of KRO radio."
- Our Manager
Jan: "Yeah, I still remember the title, but that's about it, I'm afraid…."
Ronald: "This is actually one of my songs. It's written at first impulse and it's about one of the many disagreements between myself and our first manager."
- I'm A Drinker
Jan: "Nice song. It's from our second demo tape."
- Enough
Jan: "Unfortunately, I don't have any recording from it anymore and I've no idea how it sounded…."
- Evil Ways
Jan: "A great song, but not ours, so we didn't record it."
Ronald: "It was called "Evil Ways, Evil Way" . I think it really was one of our songs, but written by Harry Bruintjes. If I'm lucky, I still have a recording of it somewhere (sound to sound), where Harry does the guitar parts, but of course I could be wrong here.."
Jan: "Unfortunately, a lot of those old recordings are barely listenable to these days. The quality has turned out so bad and you can only hear a bit of bass lines on them. I'm really fed up with this, but maybe there's somebody out there who still has some recordings we could use."

I can resurrect the post here with a new link if you still want to hear it.
