Got Tim Staffells album Amigo since a few days... great record. As we all know on this album are two songs with Brian May. Earth and Doin' Allright guests Brian May on guitars and vocals. I also got the two songs on my harddrive, that features Brian May only on guitars, sung only by Tim Staffell. Don't know there are two versions of these songs since I got the physical copy of that album. Has anyone infos where the two versions without Brian May on vocals are sourced? Thanks

Those must be the original Smile EP versions from 1969. Doin' Allright also features vocals by Roger Taylor at the beginning and end. Sounds like you should acquire the rest of the Smile EP.
No, exactly same new versions as on CD but without joint vocals by Brian May... only on guitars.
Good to know I'm not the only one who could have sworn there were two versions out there! Thought I was going nuts when I heard them, and later now can't seem to find them again!
What a tame version.

great discovery, I never noticed that... I have the acetate album and the silver pressed version, and the versions are different, on the acetate Tim sang all the parts...
for the track "Earth" same thing, on the acetate Tim sungs all the parts and on the regular album some lyrics are sung by Brian
Ok, then I stand corrected! (and sorry for also insinuating you wouldn't have the original Smile versions!) Looks like bootLuca has solved the mystery.http://www.queenzone.com/forums/forum_post_message.aspx?Q_FORUM_TOPIC_ID=1404392
Please disregard the link at the end of my reply as well!
Wait, so are these recent recordings or different versions of the 1969 Smile recordings?
I know Bri and Tim got together in the 2000s to re-do Earth, no?

These resent recordings are the the 2003 remakes... not the originals from ´69.

Yes of course, I'm talking about the 2003 Tim Staffel's album called aMIGO...

Actually, you can tell they were done in 1977 due to Roger's drums.

The first link is the version of Doin' Allright from the acetate without Brian May on vocals, the second link Earth from the original silver pressed CD album with Brian May on vocals... both the new version from 2003.
