Group id #666 : Upfront

upfront - a group with lots of unreleased demos. does someone have contact to ex-members or maybe even have some unreleased demos/previews of them in their diskbox?

You are ofcourse correct.

Ah, if only there was some kind of site where I could check these facts beforehand!

I'm pretty sure I added their unreleased demo from the Dexion Xmas party 1990, or checked that it had been added. Now it's gone.

Is it reason enough for deleting a demo that it's unreleased? I'm pretty sure it's not just me who can remember they competed with a demo there, even though I can't even remember the name.

generelly, yes. more specifically, when there is an entry without a file, and no good reason given why there is no file, then it will get removed within a reasonable time (most of the time, that has been years after the entry was created).

Then party entries are not needed at all, because parties are no releases.

It just feels like revisionism when looking at Dexion X-Mas Conference 90 and not seeing Upfront's demo which I believe was number 3.

It might not have been released, but a bunch of sceners still saw it, and therefore it's part of scene history and should IMO be represented in a database like this.

I agree 100% with Cruzer, just because a demo that was in a compo wasn't released, or was released later in a different version doesn't mean it (or the original version) shouldn't have an entry in the database. It took part in the compo, so it is part of the scene history, file or no file.
