Marcus Parrish, who had a brief stint as the band's guitarist claims that his sole recording with the band in 1984 was a live jam recorded to a cassette called "Private World".He later comments how the tape broke when attempting to rewind it, but it was fixed. This tape preceded Noodles' tenure in the band, and helped convince him to join. The only copy known to exist is in the possession of current Offspring guitarist Noodles, who tweeted out his discovery. The first recordings by the Offspring from 1984/85 (then under the name 'Manic Subsidal') were recorded on a demo tape labeled "First ManSub Demo"."Cogs" ("Gotta Get Away") - Cogs is known to have been written in the early years of the band's existence when they were called Manic Subsidal, as stated by frontman Bryan "Dexter" Holland.
The only evidence to the tape's existence is a tweet from guitarist Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman. The demo tape remains unreleased to the public, but according to the Wikipedia page of the band's discography, it was released in 1993 on a cassette tape. Californian punk rock band The Offspring released a demo tape for their album Smash, a year prior to the release of the finished album, which went on to become the best-selling independent record of all time.
