Lineup cannot be accurate edit

Harold McNair died in 1971, and the recording of this took place in 1973.

The lineup as given here matches that for the first album, where all personnel are listed in full detail. However, the 2nd and 3rd albums (at least, haven't got further than this one yet) do not hwve the lineup listed. So all reports of the personnel on these are merely repeats of the 1st album lineup. Not only is it unlikely for the lineup to stay as rigid as this for 3 albums over the space of 4 years, it is increasingly impossible due to the fact that one of them has died.

It would be good if Wikipedia did not continue to propagate this inaccuracy -- but unfortunately is may be difficult to track down exactly who did perform on this. All I can say is: the lineup given cannot be correct, but I can't say what it ought to be. --Matt Westwood 22:13, 18 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
