    Loved Blue Mink as a teenager . Hugely underrated as a group even though they had a good run of hits . The affection between Roger and Madeline was so obvious . Another thing I've been reminded of when seeing all this wonderful stuff turn up on You Tube is what a great stylish (groovy ! ) dresser Madeline was . She nailed it every time .

      @@toddblanks Page confirmed that he did not play on the “Hurdy Gurdy Man” track, but that he did play on other songs within the LP. He did indeed play his Black Beauty Les Paul Custom on “Sunshine Superman”. Incredibly, I met a friend of Parker’s who saw a comment of mine on a UA-cam clip of “Hurdy Gurdy Man” and he put me in touch with Alan through e-mail. He provided me a list of the gear that he used on the session. I’m a guitar and I’m 50, but I’ve always been very into the music of the 60s as well as the music that was more contemporary to me in the 70s and 80s. John Paul Jones also confirmed to me personally that it was Parker on “Hurdy Gurdy Man” when I met him after his solo show at House of Blues New Orleans in 2000. I’ve been very lucky to have met many heroes of mine very randomly!
      The bass player in Amen Corner was Clive Taylor!
