Outtake From Dead On Time (take 27(!!)). Brian Messed Up His Lightning Speed Guitar Intro...

Calling All Girls (1982)

there’s a crazy shitposting beatles community on this website that i appreciate reading but ive been disappointed at the complete lack of an insane queen community. like freddie mercury was a MESS he did so much bullshit like the time he wanted to get with jim hutton so he called jim’s apartment over and over again at the wee hours of the night until jim’s old lady landlord fucking evicted him and freddie invited jim to live at his big old london mansion… why aren’t people talking about this guy. rip freddie mercury you would’ve LOVED checking his snap score to see if he’s ignoring you.

(jim ended up living with freddie from 1985 until he died in 1991, they exchanged rings and were husbands) (here’s them on boxing day in their matching shirts) (so i guess being crazy works sometimes)

Shared by Tim Staffell who recently (2020) rediscovered the contact print of Smile's photo session.

These were scattered across the OIQFC magazine, Tim's TikTok, and Tim's subscription newsletter - so I thought I'd put them all together! I hope he'll share or sell proper scans of the whole thing one day.
