{sigh} Here we go again.

I don't think in 1979 Peter Green even knew what planet he was on, much less what songs he played on. Mick says in his book that Peter played on it, I HEAR Peter Green's guitar on it...that's good enough for me.

Peter Green's guitar playing has a sound of its own, like "sonic DNA"...just like Hendrix, Clapton, Santana, EVH, etc. You can tell who it is in just a few notes.

I think that since Peter was hanging out in LA at the time, Mick probably invited him down to the studio, Peter picked up a guitar and just played along with whatever was playing...somebody most likely mic'd the amp Peter was playing through and hit "record". Peter probably didn't even know he was being recorded. (and since he doesn't get credited on the album, Mick probably didn't pay him for the session either...just a mention in the book).
