I think it's more likely that the Cathy Demos are the very poor-quality
home demo recordings. I can't imagine that Gilmour would subsidize anything
where the tape deck was in the same room as the piano, as sounds on 
(my copy, at least) of the ObsKuriTies tape would indicate.

Maybe Gilmour meant that the tape recordING of the home recordings was not good.
