'81 Demos Appreciation Thread

Does anyone else love the demos she and Steve Bray recorded, which eventually nabbed Madonna her first record deal? (Everybody, Stay, Burning Up, Aint no big deal)

I even like Everybody and Stay better than their album versions. Don't you know is another one they recorded around this time.

Listening to these, along with Sidewalk Talk, I almost feel like I am transported back to NYC in the early 80s. I almost wish her first album could have included more of these songs, even though it is perfect as is.

On the flip side, I find the rock songs she recorded under Camille's management embarrassingly bad, and almost unlistenable. I can see why they did not move her career forward.

Her punk moment Safe Neighborhood is life!
