Does anybody know if some of Roger's early stuff is available? I mean, pre-Queen things like Reactions...

According to this story: [url=http://www.pmpr.co.uk/msm12.htm]http://www.pmpr.co.uk/msm12.htm[/url] , in 1969 Roger had a relation with Jill Johnson singer in The Famous Jug Band.

He produced their album Chameleon and sang backing vocals on it:

In 1999 the album was re-released on CD with a new title: Sunshine Possibilities:

John S Stuart mentioned it here: [url=http://queenforum.parlophone.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=29166]http://queenforum.parlophone.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=29166[/url]  
a few years ago but I've never seen it mentioned in any official discography (or I just didn't notice it)

If you look at the original LP's back cover there is no mention of Roger Taylor.
It says that the album 'Chameleon' was a Peter Richard production.

A Reactions demo tape does exist as far as I know

Thak you, very interesting.
Anyway, I find it quite strange that nobody recorded them in that early days... Reading the Early Years book, it seems that he had some sort of success with his early groups...
