• stereoplay October 1987 - Andy rehearsed in North London next to Motörhead - probably in early July 1987
• Chitarre October 1987 - with Andy interview and photos from Rome June (?) 1987: the interview was made in an Hotel in Rome and the photoshoot was made in the same Hotel... unfotunately there's no mention about Hotel's name.

Andy says that the guitar for the photo session is a new one, the journalist say in italian "nuovissima"... it mean "more than new"... it seems he got it the same day of the interview... or maybe some days before... it's a Roger Giggin's guitar... the journalist wrote "...it's a guitar that he will test in the american tour..."

Andy was in Italy to promote XYZ, the journalist asks: "...from today your solo album is in stores... who's Andy Summers?"

Andy: "I'm trying to find, maybe I will find the answer in Cleveland within a month" Journalist: "what do you mean?" Andy: "...when I will be in the middle of american tour... maybe I will realize who I am..."
