- Dancing On The Nightwire [Demo]
- Drowning In You [Demo]
- From Head To Toe [Demo]
- I’m Under Your Magic Spell [Demo]
- Reaching High [Demo]

I would be thankful for any help.

Someone stole some tapes from T&A is the story.

Thanks for the reply. I just found out that I could check out the book “At vara Per Gessle”. In the book there are mentioned that 17 demos where made during 87 and that Silver blue, Sleeping single and Never is a long time are among these. So I guess that the rest of the songs that I asked about also are recorded in 87 as pwbbounce says. Some other Look Sharp out-takes are mentioned book. These are: Love Spins, Rocket, From head to toe and Boom boom. I also assume these songs to be among the 17 demos that where recorded in 87.
If Thomas says that these songs where stolen from T&A then I guess that’s right. He takes rarely wrong in these matters :-) But some of these songs where given to other artists and maybe that could be another source to the leak.

I don’t know any dates, but 1987 is the year. I always thought that they were the original songs written for what was going to become Look Sharp! but were disguarded once Per wrote The Look. The whole album was started again from then (except obviously Shadow Of A Doubt, Sleeping Single, Silver Blue and The Voice)
