Anything (The Cranberry Saw Us demo)

Anything is the first demo EP by the Irish band The Cranberry Saw Us, later known as The Cranberries.[1] It was self-released in cassette format.[1] This is the only release to feature the original singer Niall Quinn.[2] By their next release, Water Circle, Niall Quinn had been replaced by Dolores O'Riordan as lead vocalist and primary songwriter.[2] Guitarist Noel Hogan designed the cover art.[3] He made an error in the band's name, spelling it "The Cranbery Saw Us" on both the cover and the liner notes.[4] The liner notes show the original sale price was £2.00 and overwritten with £2.50.[4] There are no surnames mentioned in the liner notes.[4]
