"Let Me Light Your Fire" was the A-side of the 1969 single and is the same song as "Fire" from the "Are You Experienced" album. "3rd Stone From The Sun", from the same album, was released on a maxi-single in the 80s..

Answer: Tommy

"Sparks" is the instrumental track right between "Amazing Journey" and "The Hawker" ...

Answer: Bluesbreakers

He would be succeeded by other great players such as Aynsley Dunbar on "A Hard Road", Keef Hartley on "Crusade" and Jon Hiseman on "Bare Wires". Hughie Flint would eventually resurface with McGuiness-Flint in the late 60s and The Blues Band in the late 70s.

Answer: Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger's Trinity

Steampacket was the band "Jools" sang in, next to John Baldry and Rod Stewart, before she joined Brian Auger's band. The Hollies did record the song for their 1969 album "The Hollies sing Dylan" and Manfred Mann scored a hit with "Mighty Quinn" which came from the same acetate.

9. Which band jammed the stuffing out of the old Rolling Stones B-side "Play With Fire" in an over ten minute version on their first live album?

It's on their only live album "Live 'n Kickin'".

Answer: Pete Townsend

"The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown" was produced by Who manager Kit Lambert business-wise, but it was Pete Townsend who controlled the recording process in the studio. Vincent Crane, of later Atomic Rooster fame, co-wrote a lot of the songs on the album and of course played the omnipresent organ.
Jimi Hendrix produced "The Street Giveth And The Street Taketh Away", an album for the, long since forgotten, Cat Mother and The All-Night News Boys ...
