What, even Something?

Whilst I was working on the revised edition of The Shadows - The Early Years at EMI, I had temporary access to the (now digitised) EMI tape files '' (Shadows only). I made some notes at the time. This morning I have dug those old notes out. Both "Satisfaction" and "Lucille" seem to have been the first tracks laid down for "S O Rock", with the date being March 11th, 1970. The next batch of tracks were not laid down until May, 1970.
Now....here is the interesting part (which is probably why I made a note at the time). Also recorded on March 11th 1970 was "Bony Maronie". Now..if Mo Foster / Alan Jones / Laurence Canty (all 3 being amongst the foremost exponents of the art of bass guitar playing) indepently decided that it was John Rostill playing on "Satisfaction" and "Lucille" - then this makes it highly likely that John also played on "Bony Maronie". This would fit in with both Hank and Bruce thinking that John 'might have played on three tracks."
Further thoughts /input from our esteemed members would be most welcome.
