This has been bugging me for a while.

Tone norum released Stranded in 1986 right?
The Europe demo appears on the 'le baron boys' demos from 89/90 on YouTube.

Listening to the Europe version, the guitars sound like Kee Marcello. And the recording sounds like the same time as the le baron boys' demos.

So how did Tone release it in 86??

Am I missing something here??
It's frying my brain!

I'm sure some knows a very detailed story about this, but short version:

Joey was helping out Tone with her debut album, and "lent" her this song.
When Europe were writing songs and releasing before the Prisoners album, I believe they played this song "for fun" and it was never intended to be on the album.

In the latest issue of Sweden Rock Magazine (08/21) there's a long story about Prisoners In Paradise, so maybe someone who read it will come here and contribute to the story.
