    •                               MEMORABILIA FOR SALE: 
    • ITEM FOR SALE: AN EARLY DEMO CASSETTE TAPE BEARING THREE TRACKS, INCLUDING 'WHAT IS THAT YOU SEE?', 'STOP WHISPERING', AND 'GIVE IT UP', IN THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC CASSETTE CASE WITH THE ORIGINAL YELLOW PAPER INSERT WITH THE TRACK LISTING, THE CONTACT DETAILS OF ED O'BRIEN DOUBLING AS PROMOTER, AND RELEASE DATE. 'STOP WHISPERING' WAS THE ONLY TRACK FROM THIS DEMO TAPE THAT WAS TAKEN FORWARD BY THE BAND. AFTER CHANGING THEIR NAME TO RADIOHEAD, THE BAND RELEASED THIS TRACK AS A SINGLE IN THE USA, AND WAS EVENTUALLY INCLUDED ON THEIR FIRST ALBUM, PABLO HONEY, IN 1993. THE DEMO TAPE WAS SENT OUT TO RECORD COMPANIES, REVIEWERS AND BOOKERS. A FEW WERE GIVEN TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THE TAPE WAS PRODUCED IN VERY SMALL NUMBERS, AND VERY FEW HAVE SURVIVED. A VERY RARE ITEM.
    • Before Radiohead were signed, they were called 'On A Friday'. This was because the only time they could practise was on Fridays. They produced the On A Friday demo tape which convinced the management team of Chris Hufford and Bryce Edge to make the Manic Hedgehog demo that eventually got them signed. This was all in 1991, and soon after being signed, the band changed their name to Radiohead, which is the title of a Talking Heads song. The two demos below were cassettes recorded by On A Friday.
