Rage Against the Machine (also known as American Composite) is the original demo tape by Los Angeles rap metal band Rage Against the Machine, released in December 1991.[1] The 12-track tape was recorded at Sunbirth Studio in Los Angeles, California after drummer Brad Wilk joined the band, but before they had played their first live show.[2] When the band began performing live shows they sold the tape for $5, and sold around 5,000 copies.[2][3] The band was signed to a record deal with Epic Records on the strength of the demo's success shortly afterwards.[4]
As well as being sold at early live shows, the demo tape was sent to a number of record companies to showcase the band. Atlantic Records was sent one, and produced a number of copies which they sold under their name. The band later discovered this but decided not to take action.[5] The Atlantic Records tape has a different cover to the one seen above, with a picture of a man with a distorted face and Rage Against the Machine with the lettering taken from different newspaper headlines.[1]

7" EPEdit
Sometime after their debut CD was released, an unofficial white label 33 RPM 7" vinyl was produced simply titled Rage Against the Machine. It featured 3 tracks from the demo tape.
Both catalog numbers are etched into both sides, RELAPSE-3 L-41056 appears as RELAPSE-3 L-41056-X on the B-side. A xeroxed paper insert shows the band name and a portion of the debut CD's front cover and back has track titles and newspaper clips just like the demo tape. Some copies have the band's name in all capitals stamped on the white label.
This is apparently a Japanese fan club pressing.
The versions of the B-sides are, in fact, the original rough demo productions and not the remastered versions that previously appeared on the "Killing in the Name" single.
Track listingEdit
A "Mindset's a Threat" - 3:59
