Very unlikely in my opinion. The Scorpio sessions were actual demo tape recordings, whereas this Viola Lee thing was just a rehearsal where a tape happened to be running. They were still straightening out the basic song structure. It was definitely not a session done for the purpose of recording demo tape. Hanno
