Not a demo, but this is the first thing that always comes to my mind.

Pygmalion demos is light years ahead of the actual album and is actually one of my favorite albums ever
Also this is very good but the album kinda sucked

Realiti's demo version is better than the official version.

But they're both shit so it doesn't matter too much
Not much on Julian Cope or The Teardrop Explodes but this is nice. Blows the album version away. Also, for the record Bill Drummond > Julian Cope any day, though who really cares?

The Sound's 1981 John Peel sessions version of "Hothouse" was way better than the version eventually put on an album:

The Replacements had a bunch of demos for "Can't Hardly Wait," and several of them were better than the album cut, but this version is my personal favorite:

Echo and the Bunnymen's demo for "Porcupine" is usually considered better than the album track by their fans:
