It doesn’t sound like Jimmy Page soloing to my ears; at least going by the known examples of his work during this period. He may be on rhythm, of course. I’ve always suspected the solo is the work of Big Jim Sullivan.

That's possible. You can hear influences of the sitar in the guitar solo already.

According to McLaughlin himself he only worked as a studio musician for a very short time, starting in 1965. He met Jagger once though, which was a very nice encounter. He never worked for the Stones though. So he's not on "We're Wasting Time", nor on "Metamorphosis".

He's credited, though.
He probably never knew that his contribution would end up on this compilation, nor that the compilation would be a Stones-album.

As Mclaughlin stated himself, he ran into a club where the Rolling Stones were playing, but he immediately walked out by saying "What the f*ck is going on here?" I'm not taking musical sides, to me the Stones sounded great in the early 6-tees already.
The fact that McLaughlin is credited is coming from Nico Zentgraf(?), which is not always reliable source -he doesn't pretend to - but then it could still be that McLaughlin got involved in a copy and paste job. I never recognised his playing on "Metamorphosis" though.
Even Colin Harper, the author of "Bathed in Lightning" couldn't help me out.

Once again, what he took part in was not a Stones session. Yet, it ended up on Metamorphosis.

So they didn't tell him who he was playing for? The fact that he's credited doesn't necessarily mean that he's on it. It remains a bit of a mystery to me what Metmorphosis was all about. Why all the session players, the Stones could handle their own music?

It's my understanding that most of the songs on Metamorphosis were from when Mick and Keith began their songwriting together and Andrew was promoting those songs to other artists to record. Apart from Mick singing, most had studio musicians playing on them.

Interesting, I wonder what the rest of the Stones thought about it .

They never approved the release!

Rightfully so, with the exception of maybe a few parts.

The credits on Metamorphosis are bogus.
