Ok so is there any documented evidence of this other than the fact that the Savoy Brown single that Brunning is on is apparently from September 1967?
Basically this means that the memories of two of the four men who were there are wrong?
Oh and I assume you mean Savoy Brown not Chicken Shack?
EDIT:
Ok to make this whole issue more confusing - reading Martin Celmin's PG biography, he states that Brunning began rehearsals with the band in July 67 (which I think everyone tends to agree on?); McVie joined them three weeks after the Windsor Festival, and that on Sept 9 Melody Maker announced that bassist Paul Williams was joining Mayall to replace McVie who had joined FM.
So the only definite way to solve this is to find a copy of Melody Maker from Sept 9 and confirm this
