Thanks and praise to:
Robert Wyatt who played all drum tracks, except for B1 and B4, on which Rob Tait 'did it' for a couple of tricky figures:
The Soft Machine for the backing on A5:
Mike Ratledge and Hugh Hopper individually:
David Bedford for creative assistance on instrumental, voicings and their arrangement; (also for his groovy piano playing):
The Session Men:
Jean and Mary who had to sing in Malay - which is a fair achievement for two Scots girls:
The Engineer: Peter Mew:
Sean Murphy and Ian Knight:
Finally, Peter Jenner, who provided a more than valuable smile throughout, and Malcolm Jones and Roy Featherstone of EMI who said Yes.
