Peter Green guest artist appearances

[sharksfan2000]

I've made a list below of Peter Green's appearances on other artist's recordings. I'm not including live appearances that were not released on vinyl or CD, just albums by other people on which he appears. Thanks to Mario and others for their great discographies!

In addition to the simple list of appearances, I've tried to make the connection between Peter and the artists on whose albums he appears. Some are fairly obvious, some are not. After a bit of research, I've come up with at least some connection in almost every case, but there are a couple of them that still puzzle me (like with Peter Gabriel for example). Other connections, while certainly apparent, seem somewhat thin - Chris Coco, Debbie Davies, Rudy Rotta for example - why did Peter choose to play on their albums?

I'm thinking that a guitarist of Peter's reputation must have been in great demand over the years - presumably there were a number of other people who approached him to play on their albums. So why did he choose to work with the specific people listed below and not others? Or maybe I'm wrong about him being in demand as a guest guitarist?

Of course, corrections and additions to the list below are most welcome!
