THE BACKING BAND BAND ON HALF THE RECORDINGS IS ACTUALLY THE HOLLIES.
8 OF THE 12 SONGS FEATURED ARE CREDITED TO L.RANSFORD, THE SONGWRITING PSEUDONYM OF THE HOLLIES' ALLAN CLARKE ,TONY HICKS AND GRAHAM NASH. JIMMY PAGE AND JOHN PAUL JONES ARE PURPORTED TO BE PLAYING ON THE ALBUM AS SESSION MUSICIANS AS WELL AS ELTON JOHN ( AS REG DWIGHT )
Here's the details of the sessions from the book with theChained to a MemoryBear Familybox: May 14, 1966, Decca Studio, West Hampton, London, p. Dick Glasser, personnel: Don & Phil Everly (they did all vocals, but did not play any guitar on any of these tracks), Jimmy Page - g, John Paul Jones - b, Andy White -d, Arthur Greenslade - keys, 'other details unknown'. These are the tracks that presumably include Tony Hicks, Bobby Elliott, Graham Nash, and Bernie Calvert. All mention Clarke not playing on it. Interesting that the session notes do NOT include the Hollies, though everything I've ever read indicates they play on the tracks; one suspects it was because of the Warner Brothers/Epic label issues that they couldn't be credited on the session logs. I think Page is only on two songs, can't recall which but I remember it's pretty obvious when you listen. All
tracks were Hollies compositions: Don't Run and Hide, Have You Ever Loved Somebody, Fifi The Flea, Hard Hard Year (I think that's Page), Like Every Time Before, and Signs That Will Never Change A second session for the album included two more Hollies songs, and was held atUnited Recording Corporation, Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, June 2, 1966, produced by Dick Glasser, engineered by Lee Herschberg. Personnel: Don & Phil Everly, guitars by James Burton, Glen Campbell, Al Casey, Jay Lacy, Don Lanier; Terry Slater - bass, Jim Gordon - drums, Larry Knechtel - keys, Don Randi - keys, and on organ, Billy Liebert. Overdubs on June 3, same details, but Eddie Brackett also engineered. Songs: The Collector (Sonny Curtis), Kiss Your Man Goodbye and two Hollies tracks: So Lonely & I've Been Wrong Before. Two more songs were cut on June 3 to complete the album, same studio, producer, both engineers, but these players: Don & Phil Everly, Burton, Campbell, Lacy, Lanier, Slater, Randi, and with Bud Coleman on guitar (also the overdubs above) and Leslie Milton on drums. Songs: Pretty Flamingo (Mark Barkan) and Somebody Help Me (Jackie Edwards), these being covers of course of Manfred Mann and Spencer Davis Group 1966
