They did put that demo out along side a live show from '85 on a compilation (it may have been called Lessons In Violence*) c. 1990 to coincide with the end of Exodus's time on Combat. I'm not sure why, however, but only promo copies were ever printed so it's like gold now. One guy at the Exodus forum had a copy.

I have one. It's called "A Lesson In Violence" (as opposed to the later "Another Lesson In Violence". The track listing is :

Seeds Of hate (demo)
Pleasures Of The Flesh (demo)
Brain Dead (demo)
Exodus (live at Studio 54)
Deliver Us To Evil (live at Studio 54)
A Lesson In Violence (live at Studio 54)
And Then There Were None (live at Studio 54)
Metal Command (live at Studio 54)
Piranha (live at Studio 54)
Strike Of The Beast (live at Studio 54)

I got it just after I moved to Chicago in '91 for the princely sum of about 2 quid from a second hand shop. The catalogue number is Combat 88561-2026-2 should you ever see one around and want to see if it's real. And they all have a punch hole in the front cover supposedly (at least that's what Gary Holt told me). Mine does, anyway.

I need to look in more second hand shops.

I wouldn't bother. Fair enough, even I have found some cool stuff in second-hand shops but I no longer see the point in buying music.

Maybe to keep medium size bands going

Nah, who the fuck bothers to support bands or record labels these days...

Record shops and magazines?

Any band that relies solely on record sales is completely fucked anyway.
