The Velvet Underground's Loaded demos sound better than the originals - they're just that bit less polished, and the squealy quitar bit in Train Around The Bend is louder.
A lot of The Beatles demos on the Anthologies compilations are better than the originals. I like the version of Across The Universe (which is different to the one on the Naked release too).
A lot of Nick Drake's demos are better as they sound essentially the same but without the saxophone bits.
