The Clapton image is from la Salle de Sejour at Nellcote. Its from May 13th or 14th 1971. It has been identified as Clapton by Dominique Tarle who shot it, but I agree its a bit odd perspective. However, Tarle has two other shots of Clapton the day before, in St Tropez on Jaggers wedding, with the same haircut and beard. Want to congratulate steffiestones for creating such a fun/nerdy dete

QuoteKingbeebuzz Fairground may be Dandelion.............but the interesting ones are Double Bass End and I'm Frustrated which I have never heard of before (and which I cannot find at Nico's and Martin Elliot's sites). "Double Bass End" is probably "Ruby Tuesday". "Fairground" could also be "Something Happened"?

I neither speak English nor do I know anything about music theory, so let me see if I can make myself understood: the tone/note that the second voice sings in Rocks off doesn't sound like Keith's voice. Can anyone confirm if it's actually his? No worry, you are among friends and make perfect sense The background vox on

I am still positive it will happen. In my mind, the RACKET gig is the ending of the documentary, the culmination of all the great things it will contain; some writing (?), the recording, the excitement of the London release, a bit of rehearsal (?) and the crowd going wild at the Racket gig. Sure, it would have been logical to release it together with the live CD but the album hit a second

QuoteNellcote1971 Hello, anyone has an idea what happened with the reissue? During the work on the "Nellcote Chronicles" I was in touch with JP several times. A most generous and knowledgeable man.

Quoteautomaticchanger When I was listening to Sweet Virginia, I noticed that the bass does not sound at all like Wyman's fretless, but has the distinct tone of an upright: Aw, very nice thread!

Rip This Joint isn’t the best track to compare but it is what it is The Achilles heel of the experiment is that in order to export it into a videofile I had to transcode the FLAC back to AAC 320kbps audio, so it is lossy in the end.

Quotepmk251 Stolen from a van in 1972, it turned up in someone's attic. Huh! Have the guitars from Villa Nellcote ever turned up? It was possible to follow the quest to find that bass on Instagram and I must say it was a lot of fun (for a nerd). I´ll leave it to Mathijs to answer about the guitars from Nellcote - he is the lead detective on the case.
