The following are the first two demo tapes by Blink-182. The were recorded when the band was named "Blink" instead of Blink-182. The demos contain songs that would be re-recorded and re-released on later releases. Flyswatter Flyswatter is the first demo album recorded in 1993 by the group Blink-182.
The demo was recorded in drummer Scott Raynor's bedroom, and was recorded live on a four-track and involved no mixing. It was released on Fags In The Wilderness Records, which was not an authentic label and was only used as a joke on this demo.
The artwork was made by Tom DeLonge, who also sold copies of the tape during lunch at school.
Track listing # "Reebok Commercial" - 2:54 #*Lead vocals: Tom DeLonge # "Time" - 2:50 #*Lead vocals: Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus # "Red Skies" - 3:30 #*Lead vocals: Tom DeLonge # "Alone" - 2:47 #*Lead vocals: Tom DeLonge # "Point of View" - 1:21 #*Lead vocals: Tom DeLonge # "Malboro Man" - 3:37 #*Lead vocals: Tom DeLonge # "The Longest Line" (NOFX cover) - 2:10 #*Lead vocals: Mark Hoppus # "Freak Scene" (Dinosaur Jr. cover) - 2:28 #*Lead vocals: Mark Hoppus
The Demo #2 cassette tape was Blink-182's second ever recording. It was recorded and released in 1993 in small quantity. It included some re-recordings of tracks from their previous demo cassette, Flyswatter. Many of the songs on this demo were re-recorded and re-released on their next demo Buddha, their first album Cheshire Cat, and their second album, Dude Ranch.
The demo is a regular cassette tape in a case, along with a piece of paper, with no cover art. The piece of paper says "Blink" and "Demo #2" on it. Pictures of Demo #2 can be found here.
Can someone please email me a picture fo the demo#2 cassette... It would be much appreciated! Thank you

I know this is really late, but they never made artwork for demo 2. they stuffed a piece of paper with "blink" handwritten on it into the cassette case. So no wonder you can't find it, it doesn't exist.
