P-Model made a
demo in 1979 to obtain a
recording contract; it features 2 songs, each one being composed by
Susumu Hirasawa and Yasumi Tanaka, P-Model's main songwriters at the time. The band negotiated with 8
record labels, in the end, they chose to sign a contract with
Warner-
Pioneer, all P-MODEL releases from 1979 to 1981 (3 albums and 3 singles) were handled by Warner-Pioneer, including
IN A MODEL ROOM, the album where both of these songs were included. Hirasawa also gave a copy to
Plastics keyboardist Masahide Sakuma after a Plastics show after asking him to produce
In a Model Room, which Sakuma accepted. Due to the demo nature of the recordings, they are rawer and punkier than the studio recorded versions. The demo was released by Hirasawa's SYUN label in 1994 as a bonus for those who bought both
OOPARTS and
Pause, the first release of the SYUN label (due to its nature, the
demo received a catalogue number outside of the standard numbering convention of the SYUN label). The demo was remastered by Hirasawa and re-released on the
Ashu-on [Sound Subspecies] in the solar system box set on 10 May 2002; it was put on CD 13, with SCUBA RECYCLE, Air On The Wiring and the
In a Model Room outtake
WHITE SHOES.
