On October 29, 2013, a small independent record label by the name of Eschatone Records, issued a limited edition, three track vinyl EP of demo recordings from Jobriath's never-before-released studio sessions at Electric Lady studios, circa mid 1971. This material has only a dash of the Broadway stylized glitter rock that the singer would become better identified with, and can be more appropriately linked to the denim strands of rootsy psychedelia personified by the New York production of his stint in the hippie musical, 'Hair.'
In 2001, the demo reel containing songs from the unreleased Electric Lady LP were auctioned and sold on Ebay, to record executive Lisa Fancher (source: The Jobriath Fan Collective, March 31, 2004 archive)
The B-side of this EP contains songs from a soulful, independent band who go by the name of The Sevendys.
