The other batch of songs on the CDR from Girls from Tahiti was a set of demos from the Sturgeons. We didn't actually know this existed - and we're still somewhat questioning its authenticity. Does the Franklin Mint provide certificates of authenticity for tapes like this? That weird French blog seemingly corroborates the existence of an early Sturgeons demo from 1979. We believe this is the same tape, but we have our doubts. While we're big fans of the Forward Disorder/Punk Rock Virgins single , this demo is a lot ballsier, brasher and... maybe even better? We know we could ask Al about this, but instead we're going to close our eyes, picture this and keep on listening to this alleged Sturgeons demo . Update! We've had this tape authenticated by Someone Who Was There, as well the tape and song titles confirmed: 01 Attack of the Fetus People/It's A Jock's World 02 Noise For Youth 03 Support First Strike 04 I Was A Teenage Housewife 05 Danger Zone 06 Girls on the Bus 07 Belt Up 08 A.B.U.S.I.V.E. Attitudes 10 Here Come The Injuries 09 Suburban Evacuation 11 I Wanna Die 12 Cash Factor 13 I Know, I Know 14 U of C Gestapo 15 Punk Rock Virgins 16 Forward Disorder We're pleased that a few of our titles were reasonable close. Okay, maybe only one. Thanks to the same unnamed individual (who may or may not have saved a certain radio station we love) for passing us the cover of the original tape!
