many sides, nor toured much, but many Rockabilly (and otherwise) guitarists cite him as a major influence, for example Albert Lee and Jeff Beck talk respectfully about him, often.

Don't think I've ever seen footage of him playing, and there's nothing much on Youtube (here's something, though: )

...may have played on many records, but this is the one that will always be remembered.

(Move It - Cliff Richard and the Drifters)

so who did play on this ?

Definitely an unsung master....though I think the claim of 'best ever' mentioned around here cannot pass. Advocates of Julian Bream, for a start - and that must surely include ANYONE who has ever picked up a guitar and got beyond three chords - will raise an eyebrow.

There's plenty of examples of Julian playing impossible guitar 'out there', but here's a few minutes of the guv'nor describing his little-known place in musical history as the tentative and sarod-worshipping Godfather of Fusion, and originator of the hippie trail to India (1963):

Joe's (my father as it happens) legacy is actually quite vast - you've mentioned two great records he was on - but also check out -

Hall of the Mountain King with Nero and the Gladiators (also banned) a great instrumental
Its Not Unusual - yep, the Tom Jone's classic, his wailing guitar at the end section . Often credited incorrectly to Jimmy Page -

I'm compiling a list of the hits he's been on - but I found this on youtube . He was 19 (yes 19!!!), playing in the 2is coffee bar, and got asked to tour with Gene Vincent - how cool is that? Anyway, I hope you enjoy the clip
