The original FIRE DEMONS compilation - a psychedelic listening experience

 

 

A compilation by sonicsmith-d. This was way back in 2008. And the music was just great. Songs that no-one would have expected from Del Shannon. F***ing wonderful. Unfortunately the David Hemmings tracks lacked loudness. So turn up the volume for them. 

The sleeve design was later used again – due to some kind of laziness – for a Power Pop compilation. The photos for the front and back sleeve were taken by sonicsmith-d.
