Crossroads (take 2) 15. Homeless 16. Homeless (take 3) 17. Better Man (take 2) 18 What? Sound Quality:A-/B+ Notes: This is one of two CDs I know of currently with the most complete collection of the demo songs. The source tape for this boot may have been the Eddie tape. Track list is similar to the "One Step Back" bootleg, with tracks 12, 13, and 14 being the Eddie solo songs. | |
Label: Alley Kat, AK-024 Tracks: 1. Homeless 2. What? 3. Believe You Me 4. Answer 5. Better Man 6. Just A Book 7. Homeless (Take 2) 8. What The Funk? 9. I'm Alive 10. Crossroads 11. What The Funk (Take 2) 12. Believe You Me (Take 2) 13. I'm Alive 14. Crossroads Notes: This is a marginal quality recording; varies from "A-" (Homeless and Believe You Me) to "C" (What?, Answer, and the "live" Better Man). Song names are incorrect on almost every track (i.e. "Just Wanted You To Know", vice "Homeless" and "Stand By" instead of "Better Man"). Contrary to what the CD maker might have you believe, this is not a recording of Eddie's solo demos, but merely a bad copy of the Bad Radio demos themselves from a variety of sources. | |

Better Man Sound Quality: B+ Notes: Complete tracklist, which, again contains the three "not Bad Radio" songs (tracks 15, 16, and 17). Possibly from the same, or similar, source as the "Eddie Vedder Bad Radio Demos" boot. |

Tracks: (Disc 1) 2. What? 3. Answer 4. Believe You Me Sound Quality:A- Notes: This is a 2CD set which contains a wide variety of Demo and live Pearl Jam and Mookie Blaylock performances. The three Bad Radio songs come from the self-marketed 4-song tape. |
Label: Pitchfork Records, PF 100 Tracks: 1. What? 14.Believe You Me 16.Better Man (live) Sound Quality: B/B+ Notes: Songs originate from the 4-track Tower Records single. CD booklet reproduces original casette j-card; gives names and pics of band members, and an old San Diego address-phone number for Eddie photocopied from the demo tape. |
Label: Eagle Records, Eagle 003 Tracks: 1. What? 5. Answer 14. Believe You Me hidden track: Better Man (live) Sound Quality: A Notes: Four songs off the 4-track tape. Better Man is tacked on to the end of the last track of the CD, so you may miss it if you don't listen for it. This may or may not be a bootleg of the previously-mentioned "Then Till Now" boot. I've seen Eagle Records rip-off (reprint for their own benefit, if you wish) several other boots, and this may be one of them. |
Label: Parrot Tracks: 1. Better Man (live) 2. Answer 3. What? Sound Quality: A- Notes: Three songs from the released 4-song demo tape. |
Label: Collectors Pleasure, COP 002 Tracks: 10. I'm Alive 11. Homeless Sound Quality:C+ Notes: Not to be confused with the aforementioned 4-CD set of the same name. Two songs from the unreleased demo recordings. |
