Never Is A Long Time: Demo or Demos ?

Hello everyone!!

I’d like to gracefully ask for the input from all your collective knowledge about Roxette concerning the song ’Never Is A Long Time’.

I’d like to know if the song in question in this thread has more than one demo or if it has a demo at all. My curiosity arises from two files i have that are clearly the song in question here. One of them, seems to legitimately be a demo version of ’NIALT’ most likely from the Tits & Ass studio. This file is complete in its entirety. However, the other file I have, which clearly is, also, ’NIALT’, is only about 800 kb and has a reggae melody or beat, if you will, to it and seems to be a demo as well.

Thus, is there really more than one demo for the song here in question? And if, any of you recognize the file i’m refering to, would any of you, be so kind to talk to me about it and maybe even send me a full copy of it to my e-mail, which can be found on my TDR profile by clicking on my TDR log in ID. I’d really appreciate the help and input concerning this curiosity of mine i have been marveling about for a long time now.

Once again, thanks in advance for the help and attention of those who give me a hand on this topic.

Yes there are, at least, two different demos of this song.

Makes me wonder how many different demo’s there are of other songs.

So can you share the demos you are talking about with us? Please? Pretty please? ;-)

Besides the help Tev provided me with the info, i also still haven’t found or received the other NIALT demo i refered about on my first post in this thread. So, i still only have the inconplete 800 kb file.

Take care!

I only have the “fast” demo version.
There’s also a cover of this song by lena Philipsson.

Lena’s version isn’t a cover, as she was the first one to record it. :)

mmmmm I think I know the fast version and a weird ( not so great but very interesting) reagge version of this song......( I wonder what Per was thinking......) these are the two versions I know, besides the version from Tourism.

you’re right tevensso, but I feel it’s more a Roxette song...even if it was released later...lol

I only know of the one from Tourism. I’ll try to look it up on Limewire. I don’t remember comin’ across many I don’t have. Only 2 totally different songs than 1s talked ’bout here.
