Some timing on the HFO release needs to be clarified. HFO was recorded in April *68*, when Nokie was still around, released in Sept 68 and charted in March 69 - the following year. Gerry did play lead guitar on significant hits in Japan in the 70s that did not, alas, have a dent on the US market. When it came to making money, US album sales and hit singles were made with Bob and Nokie on lead and Nokie was involved in some capacity on all of them.
Speaking of the Wrecking Crew, Hal Blaine's own site indicates that he played drums on Diamond Head, with Saraceno as the producer in 1966. How believable is that unless there is a second version of DH that is stashed away in the vaults?!!???
