Fixed/rescued Emotional Rescue on my personal CD-R with it, by replacing Indian Girl. Also, Where The Boys Go had to go for Claudine and All About You for We Had It All. These minor cosmetical touch-ups lifted the album considerably, I can tell you.

I always thought 'Mad' should have ended up on one of the albums.
For me I can sit through 4 minutes of the vamp just to get to the "suck a cup of coffee" line.

It would've been perfect on EMOTIONAL RESCUE. However, keep in mind they opted to do other things for ER that helped make TATTOO YOU so brilliant. Perhaps in that aspect we should be glad Indian Girl, which has great horns in it, as goofy as they are, wasn't left off ER and put on TY.

"Indian Girl" is a great backing track in search of lyrics that do it justice. The same as "Blinded by Love" on STEEL WHEELS which is very nearly the same song.
Ditto "Blinded By Rainbows".

Wouldn't it more likely be Mac?

Considering Mac played on the Compass Point sessions in 1979, but after falling out with Mick, they wiped him and replaced him with Nicky at Pathe-Marconi that Summer; it is entirely possible that they wiped him from the 1978 Pathe-Marconi version that was edited for the B-side of "She Was Hot" and replaced him with Chuck. I agree it sounds like Chuck to my ears as well, but most here are convinced it is an edit of the SOME GIRLS outtake so I hadn't considered an overdub being a possiblity before. Seems fairly stupid not to do so. If it was, it's still odd that Kimsey only has an engineer credit on the 45 and not a co-producer credit.
Also, the credit for Bob Clearmountain suggests this was prepped for TATTOO YOU as well.

Everything I've ever read says it's from the 1979 Compass Point ER sessions... with no McLagan.

Agreed, except for the alleged presence of Mel Collins who only worked with them in 1978. Is it actually Bobby? Some sources cite David Sanborn, but this is likely guess work because it was the B-side of "She Was Hot." EMOTIONAL RESCUE and TATOO YOU's labels carry an Associate Producer credit for Kimsey, this doesn't. He's a full producer on UNDERCOVER, but just chief engineer on SOME GIRLS which is his credit here. The label credits Bob Clearmountain with mixing this track which suggests TATTOO YOU or at the same mixing session as the "Miss You" 12" single. It's a mystery. I would probably only trust Kimsey or Clearmountain's memories at this point.

Those who know his work far better than I have said it definitely isn't Sonny Rollins. I still think Sanborn is a possiblity, but again those with more reliable ears have said it's the same saxophone as on the slightly longer outtake it is edited down from and remixed. If it is a TATTOO YOU outtake, why no co-producer credit for Kimsey? It's a mystery.
