So this a bit of a confusing demo. It seems to refer to two bands: Majesty and Paris Red. The cover is definitely for Majesty, but somethings are crossed out and the tape mostly refers to Paris Red. My guess is that Majesty was the name for Paris Red, but they decided to change names. But they still had some leftover J-cards, so they just updated them and started using those. But one interesting note is that this demo has one less song (“Everyone Wants to Make It”) than the officially released Paris Red demo in 1989. They sound like they were heavily influenced by Stryper, while leaning a bit more towards the Sunset Strip sounds as well. After this, the band released a demo in 1992 called Dibbs on Your Body.
