Watercamp Notes:
Previously the compilations have been collections of recordings grouped chronologically around the main album of the period.
The 1990's saw EC working on some projects as in the past, while returning to others over a period of years.
Moving forward the compilations will reflect this change by combining chronology and theme.
The Brutal Youth compilation stretches over a period of 3 years starting with The Wendy James Demos recorded before The Juliet Letters, then Brutal Youth and finally most of the bonus tracks from Kojak Variety, as well as many other side projects.

WHAT'S MISSING (RELEASED RECORDINGS)

Words And Music
This is basically the Brutal Youth album (without "Still Too Soon To Know") with the occasional 'talkover' from Elvis.
Interviews by Bill Flanagan of Musician magazine.

WHAT'S MISSING (UNRELEASED RECORDINGS)

DISTORTED ANGEL (ALTERNATE VERSION)
The first song attempted by the reunited Attractions went unused on Brutal Youth and was re-recorded for All This Useless Beauty. The March 1994 Musician article gives a fair amount of detail about the multiple attempts at the song during the August 2, 1993 session at Olympic Studios, but the demo on the All This Useless Beauty bonus disc remains the only available version from this period.

LONDON'S BRILLIANT PARADE (CHURCH STUDIOS VERSION)
This is mentioned in Elvis' liner notes as among the "good exploratory versions" of Brutal Youth songs recorded in December 1992 with Steve and Pete.

CLOWN STRIKE (DEMO)
STILL TOO SOON TO KNOW (DEMO)
JUST ABOUT GLAD (DEMO)
An early list of possibilities for the bonus disc included these demos which failed to make the final cut.
