Trudi liked Demolition Derby and it is a strong song that could have been included on a studio release. The demo was recorded in Hunter's home studio on the east side of Manhattan in the late 1980s. Ian read an interview about Phil Collins and discovered that they both have the same studio set up. Unfortunately, it didn't make Hunter sound like Collins (nor have his hits). Collins knew how to extract the sound that he wanted from the studio equipment. Ian dismissed his home recordings as he thought they sounded like rubbish without drums to accompany his ideas. A drum kit simply would not have fit in their apartment. One time, Keith Reid, Procul Harum's lyricist visited and Hunter tried writing with him. The songs were often good to his musical peer as we can hear now for ourselves but unfortunately they were not released on any studio albums. The song is mechanical but nonetheless an intriguing song.
