A nice anthology of all the vintage Chasar demo recordings & session(s) would certainly be a nice addition to my colection.

Plantweed, a few years back there used to be a member of this board called 'Boris' who had a large collection of original NWoBHM demos. Over the course of his sleuthing he had amassed a lot of information & contacts including many original band members. He's no longer active here, but he could b...
