First two albums..

Having got the recent Early years box set and listening to all this material again post did Rick actually play guitar on anything for first two albums if so very low in the mixes. The keyboards and strings drown a lot out regarding guitars even Francis to certain extent. Alan mentioned in an interview once that the keyboards thankfully glossed over their iffy playing for a while. There is a noticeable difference on the 1968-69 BBC sessions on these versions Rick obviously does play on.
