This is part four of a series of rare and uncirculating recordings of Mick Taylor with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in Europe 1982 and 1983. With thanks to nzb who provided half a dozen of rare shows (Turin '82, Brescia '82, Verona '82, Clermont Ferrand '83, Basel '83 and Zurich '83), thanks to my friend Riccardo (MrNo) who dug out the previously uncirculating recording of Padova '82 and thanks to Jaap (Stonesmuziekfan) who put this project together.

I already got a version from this show but the last four tracks were missing and they run too fast. Happily nzb send his version: it was complete but too slow. Using the other shows from this era for the comparison (Milano) I decided to use a speed correction of +8, 1% on nzb files.
There are some problems on this tapes, sound variations etc… but it’s a very interesting show.
I reworked “Lookin’ For Willie” that was cut in two parts with also repetition sequences at the end. There are also some defaults in the end of “I Should Know Better” and in the beginning of “The Stumble”. The last tracks needed also a little sound amplification.
Last, I improve the beginning & end of the cds adding fade in/out.
The soundcheck of this show was taped too : because half of the inlay is boring (tuning, speaking, silence...) my idea is to do a mix of the best (the musical) parts that I added as a bonus in this post but I will post later the complete soundcheck in his original state as a different number.
