Pitchfork have got the skinny on the Mangled Demos tracklist. Full Story at http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/news/05-04/08.shtml#melvins, but here's the relevant bit:

The new CD features several songs whose titles got lost somewhere in the last 22 years; rather than making up new ones, the Melvins appear to have assigned them little graphical doodles, which makes the following tracklist a bit of a bitch to reprint. Meanwhile, some songs are included twice, and others run together, producing a total of 18 tracks that, in some abstract sense, look like this:

01 Elks Lodge Christmas Broadcast
02 If You Get Bored - live radio
03 Forgotten Principles
04 Snake Appeal
05 [flower]
06 If You Get Bored
07 Set Me Straight
08 [communist star]
09 I'm Dry
10 Forgotten Principles
11 I Don't Know
12 Matt-Alec
13 The REAL You
14 Run Around
15 Keep Away From Me
16 [clover]
17 Bibulous Confabulation (during rehearsal)
18 [iron cross]
19 [pencil]
20 Matt-Alec
21 "Walter"
22 [broken scissors]
23 [airplane]

[Pringles]

Damn, its like 26 song, they have the same song repeating twice. And its not the same track that on the original Mangled demo. Maybe they just changed the name. Like if you get bored is Give up.

[noctrun]

And its not the same track that on the original Mangled demo.

you do realize that the "original" is a bootleg done by someone that might not have known the correct song titles?

[GrimReaper]

I was happy with GPT and the 26 Songs re-packaging, so fuck it, I will buy this one also.

I look at it this way, Buzz could be marketing this as "the blueprint for  grunge" or some other hyped up shit. But he just wants to get his music out there and make some money, maybe to put a gallon of milk in the fridge.

I hope this remastered version improves the quality of the sound. Anyone know where and how they recorded this?

I remember a Houdini ad with the slogan:

Melvins: before grunge, before Seattle, but never before breakfast

[klump]

hahahahaah!

typical melvins!

do you have a scan or something of this ?
