Emails from John Gustafson
Quatermass singer and bass player John Gustafson got in touch and sent the messages below. With John's persmission, we publish an extract here:
John Gustafson Hi there ! I found your web site by accident, and enjoyed it very much!

I haven't seen Pete for several years since we were in Al Jarreau's band in Germany. He lives in L.A. and writes film scores. By the way, on Q's USA trip we also played Beavers club Chicago, Whisky a Go-Go Los Angeles, Fillmore West San Francisco, open air gig in Oklahoma City, and Jam factory San Antonio Texas.

Other events in 1970, a residency at the "Blow up" Munich, a German tour with Uriah Heep, and a UK tour with Deep Purple. We never really got to plan another album, but "Monster in Paradise" (Gustafson-Gillan-Glover) would probably have been included.

Somewhere there exists a live tape of a gig recorded by Radio Luxembourg, which includes "Lucille" and an R.L. DJ., Tony Prince singing "What'd I say".

Pete played a Hammond A3 organ with two Leslies, and a Hohner Clavinet, all going through two 200 watt amps and four 4X12 speaker cabinets. I played a 1960 Fender Jazz Bass, through a 300 watt "Orange" bass amp, this powered two 4x15 "Orange" bass cabs. I can't remember Mick's kit!
Bas says: Thanks for writing John. Now how can we locate those RL tapes?
Email from Mick Underwood
Quatermass drummer Mick Underwood was also kind enough to send an email. Thanks Mick, for writing and of course for the fine music. With Mick's persmission we publish the email here:
Mick Underwood Hi Bas,

Most impressive and flattering.
THANK YOU.

Mick Underwood
