*This the “complete” Mexican Demos as it includes BOTH the 24 track version AND the additional 3 tracks only included on the 17 track version. I included the covers from both versions because they are very different. Don’t forget to enjoy!*

The “Mexico demos” are songwriter’s demos from 1974-76 (some say 1979), not artist’s demos from Earle’s recording career, which began about a decade later, and have never been officially released.
