Another thought, I always felt that Boudoir Stomp (Jamming with Edward) was somewhat of a rudimentary version of the middle jam of Midnight Rambler.

Interesting. According to Nico Zentgraf they already recorded early versions of Rambler in february and march 1968. I think Mick and Keith were in Italy in early April.

Hey Queenie, I live in Napoli and there are buses from there to Positano. Tell me if you need advise.
By the way, it's no news to me that the song seems to heve been written there; being a Neapolitan of course I'm very proud of it, because it's my all-time favourite song by anyone!!!!!!!!!!!

UrbanSteelMick Jagger & Keith Richards Wrote "Midnight Rambler"In Positano . June 12 , 2008
I think things are getting probably confused here. I once read in an old mag that they wrote Monkey Man in Positano and for instance Nico mentions the original working title of Monkey Man on his site (Positano Grande) which is more than a hint that MM was written there. Midnight Rambler on the other hand was often reported to have been written at the Beggar's session - true or not. But I have my doubts that Mick can recall it anyway ;-)

Hey LQ,
I've been to Positano twice...once as a kid on family vacation and I went back 10 years ago. Drove from Rome, but I will never drive in Rome again !!
Once in Positano, ended up parking the car for the whole time...seems like a waste now. But it was nice to have the car available to take a day trip here and there.

That it was recorded for the first time before their trip to Italy?! But this might be no proof at all for you ;-)

So what are the verified time or times they were there? If you believe some sources, half of Let It Bleed was recorded for Beggars. Etc...so I dunno.
Does it matter? Huh. Shadoobie.
