^^^^^
To be very picky, this version -- from _Adventures in Modern Recording_
-- *postdates* "Into the Lens", although it is presumably faithful to
The Buggles's original conception of the song.

>Disillusion [...]
To continue being picky, it wasn't a demo. "For Everyone" was a fully
developed and much played song. When and why it was abandoned, save for
Squire's middle section becoming "Disillusion", I don't know.

It seems that Anderson at least actually left later -- cf. 1980 Melody
Maker interview.

>--------------------------------------
>Side One

>Mabel Greer's Toyshop- Beyond and Before (4:32)
>- a pre-Yes band, with Jon, Pete & Chris [...]
*The* pre-Yes band. Anderson joined Mabel Greer and they later changed
their name to Yes. It is debatable -- and unclear -- how much Yes was a
new band or simply a name change.
>Rock Aid Armenia
>Smoke On The Water (4:22)
>Smoke On The Water (extended version) (5:50)
>- Rockers for aid in Armenia. Features Geoff Downes & Chris Squire.
>Also in the band were such well-konwns as: Alex Lifeson (Rush), Bruce
>Dickinson (Iron Maiden), and Brian May (Queen)
Specifically, in aid of disaster relief after the earthquake. Downes was
one of the leaders of the project, while Squire just one of many guests.
>Neurotrend Demos- These are demos the band GTR did after Steve Hackett
>left. [...]
The band goes under many names. Howe seems to prefer Nero & the Trends.

The two songs have alternate titles of "Outside the Door" and "Telephone
Spies". I've no idea where either set of titles comes from.
