Clapton totally hogs the picture! Chris Dreja barely appears.
A nice reflection on the dynamics of the band – in most of their songs Chris is overshadowed by both the bass of Paul Samwell-Smith and whoever was the lead guitarist du jour. And when Paul left instead of finding another bassist they recruited Jimmy Page and moved Chris to bass. No wonder when Page asked Chris to join Led Zeppelin he preferred to just shoot the back sleeve picture instead.
