Steve Lamacq played an early demo of Blur song Fool on his BBC 6 Music show yesterday. Recorded while they were still known as Seymour, it comes from a cassette which also features a demo of She's So High. Read more at <a href="http://www.vblurpage.com/news/2010/0116.htm">Veikko's Blur Page</a> where you can find out how to listen to the track!<br /><br />
