message from Mark Wirtz
Chris Spedding (unfortunately mis-spelled in the PH&P credits) was my first-call guitarist and regular team member on virtually all of my recording sessions from 1968, my last year at EMI, until 1972, when I recorded "Balloon" as my final UK production.

Chris was not only a fantastic player and brilliant musician, comfortable with any style of music, but utterly reliable and wonderful to work with - always calm and helpful, even during difficult sessions or crises. Without a doubt, his enthusiastic attitude and creative contributions not only enriched my productions, but gave them a shine they would otherwise not have been graced by.
