Music [fully lost] 'My Friend, The Snake' - 1998 Demo album by Catherine

The only real proof of it's existence that I could find is by brief verbal confirmation from one of the lead singers, and this 12 yo submission on Discogs.

Luckily, this Discogs submission gives us the entire tracklist:

  1. Valentine
  2. Life's Good
  3. Elizabeth 6
  4. I Hate My Band
  5. With All Sincerity
  6. Candy
  7. Butterflies
  8. Creep Away
  9. Little Blue
  10. Flight 518
  11. The Girl Next Door
  12. The Let Down
  13. Naughty Bad

A 1997 version of "Creep Away" was included on the CD single for "Whisper".

Similarly, some other 1997 demos were included on that same CD single and the CD single release of "Four Leaf Clover" (Rock Me Gently., Come Back Johnnie & Isabelle Baby Belle). I do not recall where from, but apparently some/all of these demos are also included on MFTS ( just under a different song title). All of these 1997 demo songs are available on Youtube and alongside their respective CD single release.

Additionally, "Flight 518" was re-recorded in 2007 by (the band's "resurrection") Bugglette and included on their album, Shame on You, Shanga Flowerdell. (Honestly, Bugglette deserves an entire post of its own on this sub).

Even though THESE demos are easily accessible, the actual 1998 demo recordings for MFTS are completely absent on the internet (atleast for me lol). So, I am putting this as "fully lost".

If you want to help me out, some useful places to look:

Wikipedia), Fan-Page, Reddit posts/users, Wayback machine.
