"Goodbye Don't Mean I'm Gone" (demo)

Here's the original demo for “Goodbye Don’t Mean I’m Gone” on “Million Seller”. This was done just at that time when Steve started to see himself in some kinda James Taylor mould (er, OK…) and bought himself one of those pluggy-in acoustics (that’s the technical term, right?) to replace an old Eko 12-string which had only (the same) six strings on it since 1984 and which we eventually used as firewood. Apparently this song is supposed to be “Sunny Skies” from “Sweet Baby James”: look, we just nodded and did what we were told.

The picture is a proposal for the cover of “Million Seller” which he actually – no, really! – sent to the record company. I remember the resulting conversation in every fingernails-pressed-into-palm detail. It was only a brief aberration, and the flying-records design was soon back on the table, but it still makes me chuckle.

"Think Bubble" is an album (LP only) of 1995 demos for an unreleased Pooh Sticks album.
