All following notes by BRdH.

The 'Ghost' Demos are nothing new to the general Police scene, but I noted
that two primary versions existed:  One with an evidently complete 'ELTSDIM'
tacked on the end, but without the 'Take 1' version of 'Don't Think We Could
Ever Be Friends', from the collection generally known as 'Ghosts in the
Studio'.  I have taken the first versions (which are superior), added the
extra 'ELTSDIM' from the inferior 'Ghosts in the Studio collection, and
arranged the tracks in a logical order (ie album running order for the first 6
tracks).

In short this is a complete 'Ghost Demos' compilation which is designed to
replace the previous incomplete versions.

A note - on the 'Ghosts in the Studio' collection it should be noted that
there is also an "alt version" of "too much information" and "one world".
These are NOT 'alternative' takes but dupe tracks simply taken from a slower
(pitch low) tape source.

The present collection does not include these two fake 'alt' versions as they
are infinitely inferior to the tracks they are otherwise duplicates of.

* This was tacked on to the end of "Ghosts in the Stdio" and is obviously from
a different source to the other tracks.  It sounds like a complete version of
"ELTSDIM" but you can distinctly hear a click track in the opening bars.
