THE LAST - PAINTING SMILES ON A DEAD MAN (1983)
"Painting Smiles on A Dead Man" album was only released in France on Lolita in 1983. In the wake of the "Summer of many
fifth members" in '81, the band realized they'd better do something before they were forgotten entirely. So they began working on a demo tape in early Fall
at Radio Tokyo studios (the "Red Demo" tape), only to have David Nolte quit after completing his bass track. The other members completed the demo and recorded a few other songs. A year or two later,
a French label called "Lolita" expressed interest in releasing a new Last album. So the band took
the aforementioned material and gave it to them.
