In December 2006, the following information was posted here. Does anyone know the source for this information: 691201A 1st December: West Palm Beach, Florida, Colonnades Hotel. Unverified

Jimmy Miller is listed as "producer" but he wasn't there!

You could make the argument that his post-production of those tracks (mixing, etc.) made him the Producer (a term that can mean a lot of different things but is not strictly defined), yet I wouldn't give him that credit for those recording sessions.

You can make the argument of Miller being the producer as 1) they played live in the studio with only an engineer recording it, and 2) the final released track only has drums, bass and one guitar from the session. All else was recorded at Olympics in 1970.

Mattijs--is the piano that jim Dickinson played in Muscle Shoals not on the final verion on the album?

How is anyone sure that "Loving Cup," "Say It's Not You" and "Your Angel Steps Out of Heaven" were played but not recorded?
