Linda Ronstadt and Jack Bruce on Carla Bley's Escalator over the hill album

 

The title track of "Grease" not only features Peter Frampton on guitar (out of convenience, as he was in the middle of doing 'Sgt. Pepper'), but Barry Gibb himself pops in for "Got a groove, got a meaning!"

 

I didn't play on it either, but I guess I can still take credit for it and put it on MY solo album... .

 

Brian Gascoigne, brother of UK TV's University Challenge's Bamber Gascoigne, arranged 'Orpheus' and 'Let the Happiness In' on David Sylvian's Secrets of the Beehive.

On the same album, Blue Mink's Ann O'Dell arranged the bonus track 'Forbidden Colours'.

 

My God.... I just realized, Monty Python used that name as the name of a tree once. XD

He also co-wrote 'Love Me For A Reason', made famous by the Osmonds.

That album was produced by Wayne Bickerton who six years later co-wrote 'Sugar Baby Love' for the Rubettes.

Dave Mason also plays guitar on "Listen To What The Man Said" by Paul McCartney & Wings.

 

Otis Spann's "The Blues Never Die" album features "Dirty Rivers" on guitar. I've always wondered who that was.

 

Matt Murphy in disguise?

 

Forgot about that track! That solo is probably one of my favorites too now that you mention it, apart from Hots On For Nowhere or Achilles Last Stand lol.

 

Rick Wakeman plays keyboards on the whole of Bowie's Hunky Dory

 

Huey Lewis also played harmonica on Elvis Costello's My Aim Is True:

Peter Sagal: I grew up a big Elvis Costello fan, and I always love the trivia that, you know, Huey Lewis plays the harmonica on Elvis' debut record.
Huey Lewis: Right.
Peter Sagal: And it didn't occur to me until quite recently that there is no harmonica on Elvis Costello's record.
Huey Lewis: But the harmonica that is not on Elvis Costello's record is played by me.

 

As well as Klaus Voorman on bass.

 

I guess liner notes , when legible, were read by some people.
