Its existence has long been rumored - the most legendary demo associated with the band. Plaster is the working or demo title of the breakthrough hit One Step Closer. Many have claimed to have the track, which has popped up on fan sites and P2P networks since the band made their way onto the internet.
Recently, a CD was obtained containing just one track and bearing the following information on it:
Linkin Park
\"Plaster\" (David Kahne Mix 1 of 4) * 02:36
NOT FINAL MIX, NOT MASTERED
From CD Source * June 2, 2000
\"the good and bad news about \"plaster\" is that i can't think of another, earlier demo of the song that would really exist. the only step before this one probably wouldn't have included any lyrics, but all the instrumental tracks would essentially be the same. as we wrote the song, we immediately recorded it, so that is to say there is only one recording; the first notes of the demo were in the same protools file that the song was finished in. there are no \"live\" demos, nor \"garage recordings\" of the song. so this version of \"plaster\" might be the earliest version out there.\" - Mike Shinoda
