| DMZ's demo session recorded just prior to recording their Sire album was recently discovered on a tape reel long thought lost. |
Here's the scoop from Crypt HQ:
Crypt Records presents DMZ “The Lost Studio Sessions 1978” (Crypt-127, out in JANUARY 2026)
12 songs from the original master reel tapes, recorded in early February 1978, the night before they spent 3 days trapped by a blizzard recording their Sire album.
JJ Rassler: “We went down to NY to record the Sire album in February 1978, and Seymour put us into a studio in Queens to lay down some basic tracks so Flo & Eddie could get an idea of what DMZ sounded like. And a few days later we headed to Syosset to record with Flo & Eddie.”
Q: So where was the reel sitting all this time?
JJ Rassler: “Somebody back then musta handed it to Ronnie and said ‘here, hang on to this’ and 35 years later my landlady called Ronnie and wanted him to come in and do some work on her property. I come home, and there’s a note from Ronnie that says ‘Hey, I haven’t seen ya in 35 years, but I’ve got something that you might want’ and the next day that reel was on my kitchen table.”
