Mac Demarco Cd __full__ Review

If you are looking to purchase a CD to study its physical "paper" components (liner notes and art), these are the most prominent options: Mac DeMarco - Salad Days (CD)

The Medium is the Melody

  • Ying Yang (Demo CD-R): Before the Captured Tracks fame, Mac sold burned CD-Rs of his early Makeout Videotape material and untitled demos at shows in Vancouver. These sell for hundreds of dollars.
  • Some Other Ones: The 2015 instrumental "BBQ music" album. Never got a wide commercial CD release, but bootleg CD-Rs circulate. It features "Brian’s Theme," a fan favorite.
  • Japanese Imports: Japanese versions of Salad Days and 2 often include exclusive bonus tracks (like alternate takes of "Let Her Go") that are not available on US pressings.

We aren't talking about a boring acoustic version of the single. We are talking about instrumental demo discs, weird voice memo sketches, and alternate takes that sound like they were recorded through a tin can. The Another One CD, for example, often comes packaged with a second disc of instrumentals that turn the EP into a lo-fi elevator jazz masterpiece.
