Finally, even though there is a typo in the tracklisting for 'Pushing Me Away', we learned that the original name for 'Cure For The Itch' was likely 'The Cure For Mr. Another interesting thing is the tracklisting was in a different order, with 'Now I See' (the 'With You' demo name) being after 'Papercut', 'Plaster' (the 'One Step Closer' demo) was fourth and 'A Place For My Head' and 'Forgotten' closed out the CD instead of 'Cure For The Itch' and 'Pushing Me Away'. We wouldn't go so far as to call them demos, but they definitely are pre-final versions of the tracks that ended up on Hybrid Theory. It turns out that the CD was very legit and it contained not only a rough mix of Hybrid Theory, but different versions of the songs. While LPLive staff declined to bid on it as the seller would not verify with us that it was legit, we definitely missed out on this one! While the staff originally dismissed it as a fake (because who would put a copy of this up over a decade after the original had come out?), LPL member -Woco21- purchased the CD and came to us with the audio of it so we could check it out. In March 2011, a gem appeared on eBay under the title of "5-7-2000 Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park - Unmastered".
