Notes.
1. ?You can see why people like Alvin Lee and Eric Clapton loved him so much;
George was never really considered a guitar god, he was always incredibly
economical, and it?s perhaps surprising that all these virtuosos were such big
fans of his style. I like the fact that you can actually hear him dig in and
play. This is one of the earliest recordings on the album, and we?ve been trying
to figure out who else plays on it. Working from the recording date and who George
would have been with at the time, we think it might be a guy who worked for Apple
called Jonathan Clyde playing Jew?s harp.?
