Well ,several of the protagonists are still alive and could confirm this if it was true.if we could somehow contact them ! Peter himself ,whos memory seems remarkably acute considering what he's been through, could confirm it !
On a slightly different tack ,I agree there's nothing on the track that sounds like Peter.s guitar playing , BUT, if I had heard Albatross without knowing who had performed it , at the height of Peter's no compromise blues stance I'm sure I would never have guessed it was his playing or that he composed it ! This to me this just indicates that there were (still are ?) hidden depths to the man, his no compromise (public )blues attitude at the time tleft no outlet for his early Hank Marvin,etc influences through Fleetwood Mac ,and may have paradoxically,encouraged forays into such recordings (this is not proof of course !)
