Divided Mind, Divided planet has no sources except the Wikipedia page so no one knows what is on it or if it exists.

Four Songs is for sale on Amazon for 1 penny, That's where I got mine.

Wow, this again? I asked about this way back in March. It does exist and the versions are different than the versions on Mental Jewelry. These were demo recordings they made before the Mental Jewelry recordings happened.

Badman - There are more sources than just Wikipedia. Here's one:

Nothing from anyone here has turned up yet. Here's my old post on this:

Does anyone here have the recordings from Divided Mind, Divided Planet?

It is a five song demo by Live while they were under the name Public Affection. The tape was produced by Jay Healey. The copyright is 1990. The tape states that "all songs written and performed by Public Affection."

The track listing is:

"Pain Lies on the Riverside"
"Brothers Unaware"
"Waterboy"
"Operation Spirit"
"Peace Is Now"

From what I understand the versions on this demo album are different from the versions on Mental Jewelry. Anyone know if that is true, and if you have it could you share it?

From further research I did it seems that you had to send a tape in to Live with $2 to cover shipping and handling and they made a copy and sent you back a random tape with the recording on it. I contacted friendsoflive.com about this and asked if I could send in a CD back in March and they've never replied.

Here's the original thread:

For those remaining non-believers of Divided Mind, Divided Planet, this should help:










The cassette sold on eBay for $565.27 on June 5, 2007. The write-up from the seller was as follows:

THIS IS NOT A BOOTLEG! THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE DEMO MADE BY PUBLIC AFFECTION RIGHT BEFORE THEY BECAME LIVE. IT WAS GIVEN TO FANS ON REQUEST IN 1990 . CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DEMO ARE EXPLAINED BY THE PUBLIC AFFECTION NEWSLETTER, "BLACK COFFEE." THE TAPE IS SIGNED BY ED, AND BOTH CHADS (SEE PICTURES).

THE AUCTION IS FOR BOTH THE TAPE AND THE NEWSLETTER.

"Divided Mind, Divided Planet" (1990) - Public Affection (original name of LIVE)

Pain Lies on the Riverside, Bothers Unaware, Waterboy, Operation Spirit, Peace is Now

This tape is a five song demo recorded by the band Public Affection in 1990 before they changed their name to LIVE. The tape was produced by Jay Healy. The copyright is 1990; The tape states "All songs written and preformed by public affection." Versions of these songs would appear on the LIVE album, "Mental Jewelry." This tape offers a unique opportunity to see the progression of this band as they moved from their public affection / "the death of a dictionary" period into the LIVE "Mental Jewelry period.

Public Affection distributed the tape to fans who requested copies of it through the mail. The distrubution of the tape is discribed by the Public Affection newsletter, "Black Coffee," which states the following:

"A few months ago Public Affection recorded a five song demo with Producer/Engineer Jay Healy. By contract we are not allowed to sell "Divided Mind, Divided Planet", however we may give it away.

"If you wish to help wake up the world send a blank tape and a check for two dollars (to cover postage) and we will make a copy of "Divided Mind, Divided Planet" for you. Go ahead and make copies for you friends, we need all the help we can get." (See images for this quote)

The tape offered here is an orignal copy made by the band. The insert contains the lyrics for the songs, as well as information about the management of Public Affection. The insert has also been autographed by Ed Kowalczyk (vocals - as ed.), Chad Taylor (guitar) and Chad Gracey (drums). The tape was signed at a CD signing for Mental Jewelry in Lancaster, PA at the now defunct BBC Records. The dedication is to "Larry."

To prove the legitimacy of this item, The tape comes with the copy of the Public Affection newsletter, called "Black Coffee," which describes this tape. This newsletter, and others like it, were distrubuted at Public Affection shows and through the band's mailing list. Any LIVE collector would want this Newletter alone. The tape and the Newsletter together are truly a unique find.

I recently sold the autographed Death of a Dictionary on Ebay (290118795386)

Are you serious??

[Badman]

I was actually so quick to offer no help because I am tired of newcomers who are terribly uninformed coming, asking dumb questions, taking some songs, and then not staying to post or anything. If there was a way to not let people download until they made 10 posts it would be fantastic.

[+Ed+]

This cathegory can simply be made available to the people with 10+ posts. Until then it can remain hidden.

Anyway, I have no clue why the one who has this tape can not convert it to mp3 (not that hard btw) and sprwad it. It is not actually the sound we all wanna hear, but the tape itself to be cherished. So why not share a collectible? Strange...

[Existentialist]

Yeah that asshole!

[Hoodstock]

Are you serious??

Damn straight!

[luchiato]

Ok, tnx.... now i know for sure that there exist DMDP demo, but is hard to find
It wold be great if someone who has it could convert it to mp3....
It's very hard to find this cassette here, and that shiping by amazon, hmm... i'm not sure that works all across the europe
