Incidentally, Richard Formby ended up playing guitar with the Pale Saints a few times when Ashley Horner left the band, back around 1988 - I've got some photos when he was with them, when they played York on my site!
Actually, I could just drop Graeme or Ian an email, as that would tell us once and for all... but from memory I'm certain they're the same recordings, unlike, say, Lush, whose demo they sent to 4AD sounded completely different to what ended up on Scar!

I just did, the cover says:
"SIGHT OF YOU and SHE RIDES THE WAVES originally produced and recorded
at Woodhouse Studios, Leeds, by Richard Formby and Mike Stout, Nov-Dec
1988"
So the studio and date match (though not the engineer's name...), and
so I guess this demo (or at least some backing tracks of it) could be
the base of the EP version.
Would have to do a direct A/B comparison to be sure, but have to get
my daughter to bed now. ;-)
Bye,
Stefan
