Do Peel Sessions count as demos?
If So...

1986 - Slab - The Aniimals Are All Eating People Pie. Slower and more (early) Swans like than album version. ('Proper' version on superb album Discension and there's a funkier version on a 12" from 88' called 'People Pie').

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - St. Huck.
Peel version (March 84') has a real lofi urgency/desperation compared to the version on 'From Her To Eternity'.
Both versions have a killa lyric though, one of his best IMO.
Peel: (From 8.17) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0Yvd0Orhdg
Album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af275kF9DQM.

Bauhaus - Swing The Heartache (Peel). Has more synth washes lower in the mix and an electronic bass pulse that I feel fits the song better.
Peel - (From About 46.16) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHCbLPuplEE

Broadcast - Pendulum (Peel Session 2003). Not a lot different to album version, but synths have loads more yummy resonance and incidental unsettling sounds.

Broadcast - The World Backwards - (Peel 96) I just like it more than the single recording.

Wire - Behind The Curtain (Early Versions 77-78)
Pretty much love every 'alt/demo.' version on here compared to the originals.
eg. Pink Flag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts7k7euCHW0
Finistaire - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=488FIdJvjp8&index=17&list=ALBTKoXRg38BB42fkLjegmTmyz3kxNxdXZ


Ditto Buzzcocks 'Times Up!' Pre Spiral Scratch 'demos'. Obviously al little rougher/raw (which I prefer) when compared to 'Different Kitchen' versions.

Could go on all day really.
