The stories about this congregation of superstars are numerous. The back cover tells that the players left one after the other, because of dissatisfaction. In the end there was recorded a fine album. There could of course have been more guitar playing from MB all over, with three stars, his role is OK. Maybe the biggest mistake was to let John Hammond sing all the songs.
