We all have to start somewhere, and many of the most successful and acclaimed musicians of the 80s and 90s completed a musical apprenticeship of sorts in different bands, gaining invaluable songwriting and gigging experience prior to them hitting the commercial heights in their respective careers – some briefly tasted fame, while others were somewhat less successful. Interestingly, many acts returned to their humble beginnings, reworking old material that hadn’t reached its full potential previously. What we’re left with is a fascinating trail of rarities and curiosities.
