Tracklist: A.Hungry Freaks Daddy [Zappa]/ B.What A Friend I Have In Whiskey [Fred -Phast Phreddie- Patterson/Jeffrey Lee Pierce].

Recording info: "What A Friend I Have In Whiskey" recorded @ Mars rehearsal studios (@ 665 North Berendo Street), Los Angeles-North Hollywood on 12-Jul-79. A-side recorded in 1985.

Note: Unreleased demo. "Though very raw, "What a Friend I Have in Whiskey" is an early attempt at a jump blues sound for the modern world. This is the fourth take of the song. The vocal is way low because the studio's P.A. system was not great. Also, you can hear the space we saved for the saxophone player we were hoping to get. Anyway, the great thing about this is Jeffrey's guitar playing; it is downright wild--the saving grace of the recording. If it weren't for him, the band wouldn't have existed." Phast Phreddie 2019. They recorded 2 more demos at those sessions ("Faster Than You" and "When I Get My Cadillac") which remain unreleased to date.
