Studio run-through of Marguerita Time, from the wrongly labelled "Brixton Studios 1982 Tour Rehearsals" - which it absolutely is not Enjoy! Nice! Man, huge tape dropout near 3:13. Good to hear this! People may not like the song, but I find this stuff always interesting. This seems to come from the same sources of the rehearsal tapes available on the 1982 Deluxe. If so, are there other recordings from the same tapes/time that also didn't appear on the 1982 Deluxe? Do we know who was on the bass? Alan...?

Alan, and in-regards to the stuff that made it onto the 1982 deluxe - I think it's all there bar Margy Time. It's a dodgy cassette copy of a 1/4" tape, as there are 2 reels titled Jam #1 / Jam #2. Not a clue where the label "Brixton Fair Deal Studios" came from, as it's all Montserrat Jam Sessions. The bootleg also has the tracks in the wrong running order, as Margy Time comes before Stay The Night, but Rossi is quite clearly off his rocker on Margy Time.

I seem to remember Baby Face being missing from the deluxe, but I could be mistaken.

Hi Quoincidence , I think you posted this picture on the board some time ago. Do you know if there is any other proof of Quo re-recording "Bad Company" during the "Back To Back"-sessions?
So is this just a mock up picture or were copies of this actually pressed?

Here's the diving board Alan was lying on! All the photos are here: www.messynessychic.com/2016/03/09/the-studio-that-made-rock-and-roll-history-is-rotting-away-on-a-caribbean-island/

There was a decent documentary on the Montserrat AIR Studios released on Amazon Prime in 2021, from memory - "Under The Volcano". No mention of Quo at all, but interesting nevertheless
