Notes:
– Formed in 1979 and according to Steve Grimmett, Medusa was his “first serious Rock band”. He was 16 years old at the time
– Drummer Eddie Smith did all the artwork on both demos
– There were plans to cut a self-financed single in 1982 but unfortunately this never happened
– Apart from all the tracks mentioned below in both demos and on the CD, other tracks from Medusa were: ‘Forces Of Evil’, ‘Heart Of Hell’, ‘All Night’ and ‘Burnin’ Love’. It is not clear if these songs have ever been recorded in any shape or form.
