In June 1979, the Corvairs recorded a demo consisting of five original songs, including a Phil Gammage song, “Hands of Time”. A CD released in 2000 includes this music; called Denver Sessions ’79, it is still available from PreFab International Recordings. Also that summer, the Corvairs played two shows at the Blue Note club, one of them opening for the Cleveland band Pere Ubu.
