These are the credits given on the album sleeve,

played guitar and Billy Preston played the B3
Hammond, but I have no evidence to support
it.

Well, that's what I thought, remembering him from
playing with the Everly Brothers, but that's what it
said.
I mistakenly indicated that the credits were from
the album cover when, in fact, they were from
the credits on the soundtrack from the movie
"Up In Smoke".

My apologies, I found the credits listed in reference
to the "Up In Smoke" movie, where "Earache My Eye"
was a part of the soundtrack. You will find that listing

multi-instrumentalists, although they don't always appear on recordings in any
role other than the one they are known for.
