If you want a quick listen, look them up on youtube. The original mp3's out there aren't amazing studio quality anyways so you won't lose too much quality by listening on youtube. I believe pretty much all MGB demo songs are on youtube. Go here to get all the names of the songs to look up: http://www.nearfantastica.com/albums/

Some of them are in the members only area on this site/aka the download hub : )

 

clearly i'm not alone, whispering in the dark is one of MG's best songs lyrically/musically..
