The release history of Trouble in the nineties began with two albums for Def Jam: "Trouble" followed by "Manic Frustration". But after that, label manager Rick Rubin got massive financial support Trouble suddenly found himself without a record deal overnight.
This was the period when the legendary "One For The Road" demo was recorded in 1994. Guitarist Rick Wartell tries to reconstruct the chronology: "When we recorded "One For The Road" in 1994, the deal for "Plastic Green Head" already stood. So why the demo? It was about the pre-production."
His colleague on the guitar, Bruce Franklin, knows more: "I think we sounded out what we had. On every tour we see so many bootlegs, only there's no money in it for us. So we just made 1.500 pieces and sold the thing on tour. That's how money got stuck with us this time. Not with the label, not with the bootleggers, but with the band. The songs have been recorded in the studio. It wasn't a big studio, but it was. No outstanding quality but already acceptable. A good demo, no more, no less."
"Victimt Of The Insane (Demos & Rarities Part 2)" contains 14 rare demo recordings from the 1993/94 era.
