I'm comparing those two because they sound similar, more stripped than the other Bounce demos. On the other demos he sounds more than fine.
Postcards was released as a b-side, the AALY didn't, as far as I know.
So I'm guessing those released demos are not so raw as the name would suggest. It seems they get the same treatment as the proper tracks. Although I think I remember older demos sounding much less polished.
I understand there's different parts during the recording process and demos could get reworked several times, but I guess I was expecting the demos to sound more ... untouched...

My theory is that this and Everyday's demos were early early versions. On both cases it's clearly a drum machine. Maybe it was pre-band involvement and was just what Richie did with the other song writers. The other b-side demos (Joey, Right Side of Wrong and One) sound much like full band demos.
