Marillion - childhood's end demo, 1998

"The demo version of "Childhood's End?" offers a raw, pre-production glimpse into the song's evolution. Recorded during the Misplaced Childhood sessions in early 1985 (likely at Hansa Studios in Berlin), it features a more stripped-down arrangement compared to the polished studio cut—sparser instrumentation, rougher vocals, and a tentative structure that highlights the band's creative process. The demo was first made widely available on the 1998 remastered edition of Misplaced Childhood (EMI), as bonus track 16 on CD 2."
