So after releasing Candy, Darling? in 1993, Shroud changed their name to Luxury and recorded this demo in the same year. Sounds like a pretty busy year. They include a full version of “South” this time. All of the songs on this demo except for “My Last Gasp” were re-recorded for 1995’s Amazing and Thank You on Tooth & Nail Records. It seems that this tape was known as The Pink Tape because there was no name on the cover, but I think the band had the longer name for it in mind. In 1994, they released a different version of this tape that was clearly a self-titled demo, with a similar cover but in blue. They also changed the song order and added “Flaming Youth Flames On” and “Vanity.” “When the Curtain Falls” was also included on their Nude at Last collection tape.
