of course, but if you listen to the drums playing on "Homework", then you wll hear that it wasn't Mick Fleetwood style.

Peter played even the drums on it.....

With all due respect, when we get something more iron clad than something "not sounding like his style" then we can change it, otherwise we'll be forever changing everything. What is your source on Peter playing drums on Homework?

as interesting as the discussion about the clifford davis 45s and the featured musicians is - we've run a bit off-topic here, haven't we?!

Agreed. Hopefully someone will post it here soon.

Lazy Poker,
While I appreciate your comment, I believe it is safe to say that this particular thread had already died on the vine –
It would appear from the lack of response specifically related to the topic, that no one posting here has actually heard either of these two songs, even if they had heard about them.
The “off-topic” discussions of the Davis singles, and who may or may not be playing on them are too me, at least, somewhat related. They were presumably all recorded around the same time period: after they signed with Reprise, up until Green’s decision to no longer record.
Davis’ estate seems to have held on to the “rights” of much of this material recorded at this time, releasing it on first the “Vaudeville Years” and then the “Show-Biz Blues” collections (and we have no way of knowing how much else they still might have).
The Davis singles though were commercially released (on Reprise) and the McIvor single though not commercially issued was released as a radio promo on Warner Bros. Records so they would still control and presumably still have, the masters, and whatever recording info goes with them.
The powers that be lost a great opportunity to see at least some money out of these old recordings by not issuing them along with the re-release of “Then Play On”.
And it goes without saying that the Peter Green and the Nigel Watson and Peter Green singles should also have been part of that reissue package.
I truly believe that the information about those sessions is out there; and while we can make educated guesses (and that is all that they will be until "real" proof come along) as to who played on the Davis singles, it is possible (and probably likely) that neither Green or anyone else from Fleetwood Mac played on the McIvor session, (though Davis may have done the vocals) but without hearing the songs, it is impossible to know.
Meanwhile, I will continue to scour the Internet for any copies of the McIvor 45 that may come up for sale.

Thanks to both of you and yes, hopefully we can come up with real data soon on this. As stated I only have it as it is now in the listings here for indexing so I can find them in each FM members records in case we need to change them later (since the "legend" is that they are all on it so we are forced to go by that until the better information comes along).

As for Homework, I put in the comments section that Peter could be playing all the instruments on it.

Just a quick update: I received confirmation that the vocalist on the McIvor single is not Clifford Davis. I asked the person who has it to please compare the vocal with those on Davis’ singles and he tells me that they are not the same –
Does not really help us come any closer to solving most of the mysteries surrounding this number, but I just thought I would put that out there.

A regular (non-promo) copy of this David McIvor 7" has just been sold on eBay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1625229985...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I bid on it, but didn´t win...hopefully someone here did!
Or at least we´ll get to know more about...?
