John started with the Bluesbreakers in 1963 and had recorded a live album with them before Clapton joined. Clapton’s joining obviously elevated that band, but John was part of building the foundation that made what was about to come happen.
Mick mostly bounced around from band to band, maybe recording a couple of singles here or there, and was mostly a scenester.
PGFM was John’s fourth studio album and Mick’s first. John was considerably more established and had experienced much more success going into that album.
