The Early Demo Tape is an untitled audio cassette recording that was recorded independently by American pop/rock group Hanson. Every song was sung completely in A Capella and it was recorded a short time after The Beginnings, when Hanson turned from Christian music to Secular music.
Recorded in 1992 for promotional use only, it was never released to the public. The demo consisted of an equal variety of original songs as well as covers.
Though Hanson themselves have never acknowledged the existence of these recordings and have stated that they are only rumors, several fans have managed to find them through the internet.
