Requested in "Request & Fill Corner" section...
Harlan Cage started its activity in the summer of 1994, based around former Fortune (US) singer L. A. Greene and keyboardman Roger Scott Craig.
The band was originally known in the Los Angeles area as BIG CITY, and included Richie Onori on drums, Brian Peters on bass and Michael Langlan on guitar.
The group parted ways at the end of '93.
An european label executive heard these Big City demos tracked down circa 1992/93 and contacted Larry Greene through a publicist in California to offer him a contract. The first Harlan Cage album found its way...
Most of the tracks (except "Restless Hearts") ended up on the debut album, re-worked and re-recorded.
But the Big City demo versions (although pretty similar) contains much better guitar work in my opinion.
The sound quality of the tape isn't the best, I've enhanced the levels and fixed the intros/outros.
Myself made artwork included.

2 - Sweet Salvation
3 - 98º In The Shade

Fantastic front cover pic. This kind of artwork looks like the real deal.
I probably wouldn't even have noticed that Michael Langlan is a better guitarist than L.A. Greene if you hadn't pointed it out. (I see 'Restless Hearts' is the only track that ended up on 'Double Medication Tuesday'. I wonder why it didn't make the cut the first time around.)
Thanks a lot. Fantastic job once again. Your absolutely my hero of the day - week - year. :-)

I can help you with Stone Soup's "Rock You" as well.

Muchas gracias otra vez camelbue.
Me parecen maravillosas estas demos, para mi gusto un poquito superiores a Harlan Cage a pesar de la poca diferencia, lastima el sonido...
