I guess, but if you think in terms of the fact that she was brought on board for the "Kiln house" tour (when there were 2 guitars (Danny & Jeremy)) then was there through more 2 guitar lineups up through to MTM ...it doesn't seem there was much quibbling about a "thin sound" once the dough started rolling in.

I think it just depends on WHO the two guitarists were and their capabilites (or "work ethic", in Jeremy's case). As time marches on, I'm increasingly doubting the "thin sound" excuse for asking Christine to join in the first place. I think it was more for adding someone who had the temperment to FRONT a band (other than Jeremy doing his parodies, he didn't really want to front the band), Danny was DEFINITELY not a "front man", so, in Peter Green's absence, Christine was the logical choice to join and to play "emcee" during the shows...which lasted throughout her tenure. Just notice how much it is Christine who does most of the "emcee-ing" during even their 1975-82 shows.
