Since The Little Mermaid: The Legacy Collection has been out for a while now, I'm fine with sharing another set of Ashman / Menken demos. This is the most complete set of Little Mermaid demos I could put together using, primarily, The Legacy Collection with a few tracks from The Music Behind the Magic. (In the editing notes I wrote for this, I noted that I used a brief bit from Howard Sings Ashman for one of the "Under the Sea" demos, but I'm not sure if I ended up using that edit.)

All the tracks are my own rips from my own personal collection.


Tracklist:
Track#. "Title" - Type of Demo - NOTE - Performer

"Fathoms Below / Main Title" - Synth - LYRICS #1 - Ashman & Menken**
"Fathoms Below" - Work Tape - LYRICS #2 - Ashman & Menken*
"Daughters of Triton" - Synth - Ashman & Menken*
"Part of Your World (Original Introduction)" - Work Tape - Ashman & Menken**
"Part of Your World" - Synth #1 - Menken**
"Part of Your World" - Synth #2 - Ashman*
"Fireworks / The Gigue" - Piano - SCORE - Menken*
"The Storm" - Piano - SCORE - Menken*
"Part of Your World (Reprise)" - Synth - Menken**
"Under the Sea (Writing Session)" - Work Tape - Ashman & Menken**
"Under the Sea" - Synth #1 - Ashman**
"Under the Sea" - Synth #2 - Ashman*
"Silence is Golden" - Work Tape - Menken**
"Poor Unfortunate Souls" - Synth #1 - Ashman*
"Poor Unfortunate Souls" - Synth #2 - Ashman*
"Les Poissons" - Synth #1 - Ashman*
"Les Poissons" - Synth #2 - Ashman*
"Kiss the Girl" - Synth - DEMO / FINAL HYBRID - Ashman & Samuel E. Wright*
"Happy Ending" - Work Tape - SCORE - Ashman & Menken**
"Happy Ending" - Piano - SCORE - Menken*
(* = The Legacy Collection, ** = The Music Behind the Magic)

There's a couple tracks on here that were restored and released on Howard Sings Ashman, but I personally love the hiss and noise in the unedited versions, so I decided not to use them. If there's any interest, I'll put together a set with those included instead. Also, there are early recordings that were included on the DVD (the extended version of "Poor Unfortunate Souls" and the alternate version of "Fathoms Below"), but I don't have a copy of the DVD and can't include them. Besides, they're aren't demos, just "final" vocal recordings with the temp synth track.

Thanks, but don't give me too much credit. It's a slightly edited version of Disney's Sketchbook release for The Little Mermaid. http://www.amazon.com/Walt-Disneys-Little-Mermaid-Sketchbooks/dp/155709344X
