This is the last post on this celebrated assembly. However, before I get on the main thing I intended for this one, today is saddened by the news of the death of Andy Fraser, who was the bass player with Free, and is shown here on the front row with a folder under his arm. My condolences to those he leaves behind.
It is possible now to construct a “score card” in respect of the group who turned up for this astonishing shoot, indicating how many were there out of the possible maximum who could have attended, and it looks like this, in the order the sampled acts appear in the white lettering list on this front cover:
Jethro Tull – 4/4
Spooky Tooth – 2/5
Free – 3/4
Art – 1/4
Tramline – 0/4
Traffic – 3/4
Fairport Convention – 6/6
Nirvana – 2/2
John Martyn – 0/1
Clouds – 3/3
Spencer Davis Group – 1/4
Wynder K. Frog – 5/8
[The Cuckoo – Ian A. Anderson – 1/0!]
