about

If you were to wander through Larry's extensive archives at any point after 1969, you might have stumbled across a nicely decorated little reel to reel tape box, containing demos by "The Flies" - one of Larry's projects between leaving People! and recording Upon This Rock.

Many Larry fans aren't even aware of the 7" single (Blow In My Ear And I'll Follow You Anywhere) released under this band name, and even those that are are almost without exception oblivious to the fact there were further recordings. Until now.

Note: Some of these tracks were actually used on the rare 2007 CD release Motorola Corolla 2, however, the smelly tape is presented here in full and with no early fade outs or edits. No edits apart from noise and odour reduction that is.
