The description is adequate. It does not explicitly say that this is a great Jazz-Rock/Fusion album by one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

I am unhappy about the way Wikipedia is biased towards American Fusion and away from British. Remember also that Hot Rats was a hit here and not in the US! Keith Bowden

[edit] John Paul Jones?

I was surprised at the reference to Jones as a participant. Is this really true? Any clue as to which tracks and why he is uncredited with not even a pseudonym?

The pianist is credited as Zoot Money, and he's mentioned in Green's biography. I've never heard that JPJ was involved. Until someone can find a good source to say otherwise, we'll stick with the pianist as credited on the album sleeve. Bretonbanquet 17:52, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Big fan of the album since I picked in up in a remainder bin 35 years ago.

The mention of bass player's CV does nothing for the article.

EOTG bears strong resemblance to Green's minor key solo noodlings such as "Fool No More"

I think it's fine to mention the bass player's pseudonym and that single reference to his other work, since there is no individual article on him. I disagree about TEOTG resembling AFNM. Okay, they're minor key, but that's about it. TEOTG is free-form, AFNM has a blues structure. Any resemblance is coincidental, in my view, and in layman's terms (which is what wikipedia articles are designed to appeal to) the album is not in any way readily similar to his previous recorded work.
