The label treated them like shit. First by making them change their name and second by threatening to drop them if they didn’t come out with more pop-ish songs. I guess that’s just the industry for you.
Yes, though there were quite a few poor tracks on Leisure (though it has some good strong tracks such as : There's No Other Way, Sing). It is a patchy album. Overall it's weak despite the few good tracks. Too weak for the band to continue to be succesfull. There did need to be a change, an improvement, and fortunately there was.
The Leisure version is one of the best tracks on Leisure. And quite beautiful. Sweet / sour, jangly indie. It is here yet to a lesser degree. Still interestiong to hear the difference of course.
I really appreciate the clean upload. You are one of the only people doing this. I cannot find magpie early demo. I found everything else Blur ever did online over the last two days. If you got this song, it would be a great contribution to the collective wealth of mankind.

Even in their larval stage, such a great band.
I really love the bass on this demo
Alex is too smooth.
i love this version ;-; wish more of their demos were available on spotify

I couldn't agree more but ill be honest leisure is my favourite record.
I mean the band members agreed later that Seymour was a rubbish name.

More demos under the ban on RUclips so it's better to download the full albums with demos from the Blur 21 box on the Internet
@@RussianFanofDamonAlbarn the demo from "I'm fine" (called "always" at that time) sound better to me than the final release
@@mauriplade Yes, I agree, the drums were ruined in the final version
The bass is fantastic
I wish that you could hear Grahams guitar more in the intro on the final song, just like this demo
Honestly prefer this version to the recordings that was on 'Leisure'. The lead guitar line taken out, gives the whole song a more direct feel to it...
damon sounds more… foolish
