In January of 1986, a second demo tape was recorded in Northampton, by which time the band’s sound had crystallised into the intense, hypnotic, overloaded psychedelia which characterised their early output, and which would serve as a template for their live act throughout their existence. It was a copy of this tape that the band gave to Pat Fish of The Jazz Butcher when he professed himself a fan after a Northampton gig. The demos aroused the interest of David Barker of Glass records, to whom The Jazz Butcher were signed, after they became a JB tour bus favourite. These demos were later released on a bootleg LP on the U.S. Father Yod label as ‘Taking Drugs To Make Music To Take Drugs To’, a title which was once in the running as the name of the first regular Spacemen album, although the sleeve incorrectly identifies the recordings as rehearsals in Rugby.

If it is sheer raw energy that you want and would like it injected with a red-hot needle then look no further than these demos by Sonic and Jason. Their stormin’ version of Juicy Lucy’s “Mary Ann” sounds like it could easily have been an outtake of a ’68 Velvets session.
For those who are interested in the UK underground drug music scene during the mid 1980’s, then the Spacemen 3 are essential.
