no bobby whitlock in the credits...Quote

Haven't seen the new liners yet myself, but it sounds like a bunch of crap. There are no strings on "Happy", Keith has stated in interviews going back to '72 that he played all the guitars & bass on that one, with Jimmy M. on drums, and Mick T. stated in a 1980 interview that he played bass on "Shine A Light". Heck, even Wyman confirms that it's Taylor playing bass on the final take of "Tumbling Dice". Crappola, I tell you! Did they bother to credit Bobby Whitlock with the electric piano on "Just Want To See His Face"? If they fixed any credits, they should've fixed that!

What a bunch of bollocks about Charlie's participation! That's not him playing drums neither on Happy nor Shine A Light. It's not his style or sound. I believe more in the original liner notes that list Jimmy Miller.

Charlie did say something about Bill Plummer not being there. Is he in there?

I think I read in the new liner notes "co-produced by Don Was".
Imho this wave of revisionism is going too far...

Seems like they pasted in the "Sway" credits for "Happy" (and added Ian in the process). Matt Clifford was reportedly there when Taylor added his guitar to "Plundered My Soul", so his credit makes sense. Mick Taylor once said that the "friend" credited with "Tumbling Dice" backing vocals along with Clydie and Vanetta was in fact him.
