The short version: Long before Jim Steinman ever wrote lyrics for a song with the same title for an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical called "Whistle Down the Wind," he wrote his own song with lyrical elements and title in common. The Everly Brothers recorded one variation; this is the other one. It's sung by Gina Taylor, probably recorded during the Pandora's Box sessions, and if I had to wager a guess based purely on lyrical content, I'd say it was intended at one point for the slot that "Safe Sex" occupies on the final album.
How did I get this demo? One night, a mass email went out from Jim to several people in his address book with this attached and no message in the email itself. (Snafus like that occur every so often; ask literally anyone who's corresponded with him.) I was one of the people on that chain. Basically, a bunch of people have had this file for ages; nobody who I conferred with knew whether they were supposed to share it or not, but figured they wouldn't just in case. As I was certainly under no obligation to keep it secret (it was never stated or even implied), and it's been up on KZfaq at least once already, I figured what the hell. So, here it is.

Thanks for sharing! This take has really grown on me the in the past couple of nights. It's pretty incredible how many times this song has been repurposed for like 3-4 different tracks, most of which are available on KZfaq. I long for a day when Jim's archive will be opened for unfettered access to his unpublished works, but I hope it doesn't take somebody dropping dead for it to happen (see: Prince's vault).

Given his rampant recycling, I wouldn't be surprised if there was less to find than people thought in the grand scheme of things. But I do think it will be interesting if the vaults are ever opened completely.

@@GibsonDelGiudice I do applaud the individual who snuck a cassette recorder into the Library of Congress (or so the story goes) about 15+ years back in order to create a digital transfer of his early work which is still floating around the web today. Yeah, I'd love less compressed and higher quality copies , but I'll take what I can get hah

@@harrosin That must be a much older transfer. I know of a fan who recently dug into the New York Shakespeare Festival collection at the New York Public Library and turned up a ton of his early work, they have a KZfaq channel of their own, but I've never heard of the whole Library of Congress thing.

Love it. Dare I say much better than the (albeit very different) Rory Dodd version and I really like that one.

I prefer not to compare the two; they're almost totally different aside from the chorus. But they're both pretty cool.

@@GibsonDelGiudice Fair point. Thanks so much for sharing this. I often listen to Jim's less well known songs, but only picked up on this one yesterday. All the Pardonra's Box singers had such great voices. Still one of my favourite albums. I always thought its success was tainted by the free CDs they gave away (with newspapers I think). They were a mash up of spoken parts and the songs, and in my opiniond didn't put the album across well at all.

Wow - 2:40 has a rhythm that reminds me of "Rebel without a clue".

D'ailleurs sur Rebel without a clue "Hold me hold me in your arms " est chanté par Rory Dodd. Qui est également la voix que l'on entend sur cette chanson par moments.
