Who is on the cover of Greatest Hits from 1971

Sorry, I know it's lame, but I can't tell exactly who it is on the cover of Greatest Hits from 1971? Do I see Peter Green on there? And what year is the photo from?

I think it's Danny in the striped shirt, Jeremy is the closer guitarist and you can see Mick's hands too. Not sure on the year though, maybe '68?

It's Peter in the striped shirt** furthest from the camera,Jeremy in the forground playing his Gibson Semi acoustic (or is it a Hofner President ?) Mick on drums (in the great period when he had a minimal kit and you could see exactly what he was doing !
The album folds out to make one continuous photo , so on the back (ie extreme foreground),is Mc Vie ,wearing his fu man chu moustache- though it's a bit hard to tell
No Danny- therefore prior to summer of 1968 -so about the Mr Wonderful period . I'd say.
Inside pictures show band members individually on one side and on the other side a whole page pic of the Kiln house line up . The individual pics ,the guitarist in the hooped shirt is obviously Peter , and Jeremy is playing a blonder semi acoustic( the Hoffner ?)


** this was a yellow and black hooped rugby shirt ,I doubt Peter played rugby but you never know ?

Yeah that was why I was thinking Danny but you're right it's Pete.

That's right, I remember that BIG picture of John on the "other side" so I knew he couldn't be in there (the front that is).

I figured it had to be pretty early on with Jeremy's semi-'fro but meh, pictures aren't my specialty so I'll go back to the recordings. However, the pics can be fun to talk about.
