1. Shakedown Street [7:23]

Notes:
Early preproduction demo of the title song for the "Shakedown Street" album. This is not to be confused with the commonly circulating album session outtake. It's an entirely different studio recording with the song still in an embryonic state, including slightly different lyrics, recorded prior to the actual album tracking sessions beginning. As far as I know, this demo is new to digital circulation as of January 2021. - Alan Bershaw
