There is absolutely nothing on the track to make one think that any of these musicians are on this track.

THD makes an excellent point of being careful not to allow our expectations of what we believe we should be hearing (especially in the case of Green) deceive us, this “new” statement about The Bluesbreakers almost seems like a joke. I’m surprised that no one has put the prolific session player Jimmy Page in the studio with them also.

Unlike Page, Green’s professional world (at that time), and to a certain extent, Mayall’s also, was extremely limited. After The Peter B’s and Shotgun Express, he only people that he worked with were through his association with Mike Vernon.
It was only after he left Fleetwood Mac that Green began to work with a much wider group of musicians. I cannot imagine how he would have been involved with Faith session.

I'm guessing that there's nothing more to this than someone believing that "Pete Salt" was Peter Green and then jumping to the odd conclusion that the Bluesbreakers must have somehow been involved. Again, it sounds like an example of someone trying to tie a well-known name to a more obscure artist or recording in an effort to validate them.

Good detective work on uncovering the identity of "Pete Salt", BklynBlue!
