SeasonOfTheWitch 3,789 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 What do you guys think about demos making it to albums? Should they be on standard versions, only deluxe (AD Work Tape), only country/store specific deluxe (MR Work Tape), or not at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamite 50,362 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Love the work tapes but standard albums would ideally only include finished songs. Demos should be extras on other versions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Music 20,522 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I think the 1989 voice memos paved the way for the work tapes Gaga 💝Taylor 💝Carly Rae 💝Rina 💝MARINA 💝Britney💝Lights 💝Shania 💝Sigrid💝 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 30,492 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 It's a nice gift for the fans but I usually never listen to them. Angel Down is a gorgeous song and the production on the final version is really good that I don't even feel l ike listening to the demo, I'd have to be in the mood for it.

AJRocketMan 2,684 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 They don’t belong on standard editions or even deluxe editions, but I’m cool with them as mixtapes. However, those are best suited for anniversary editions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice bear 1 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 as an artist i'd feel like i failed to pass on the full story/world of the album if i released it as is, unless it's from an already heard track like Angel Down was, then it's like a bonus, but maybe it'd compromise the integrity of the work idk i'm too picky... think i'd only include them on mixtapes not on albums ice heard one side from above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smother Em Eh 6,820 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Demos, absolutely not Work tapes aren’t bad every now and then as long as they’re good. Most of the time they give the song a different feel. Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star 4,228 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Absolutely loathe them. It's just a way of them not adding another track. Those are demo or work-tapes which are better off on SoundCloud or embedded on the website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
