The article didn't actually say that John McVie quit, just that he and Hughie Flint had each "gone their own ways". According to Christopher Hjort's book
Strange Brew, Mayall fired both Hughie Flint and McVie in early September 1966. McVie was back with the band around the end of September (seems he was fired and re-hired by Mayall more than once), and Aynsley Dunbar took over on drums about the same time. So that would date the interview with Mayall to sometime in September, which makes perfect sense for the October issue of the magazine. BTW, Hjort notes that Peter Green's debut with the Bluesbreakers was probably 22 July.
Thanks for the articles, becca!
