I remember back in the day sending 3-track dance demos to record labels.

We would always get notes back saying 'Thankyou, but it's not quite what we're after right now'.

A guy who wrote for SOS at the time (Big George) said that A&R never listen to the tapes anyway. He sent loads of early George Michael tapes to SONY and got the same notes back..... Same with BLANK tapes!

We used to send balloons, lollies, allsorts. And we always painted the jiffy bags red so they would open them first.

What a waste....
