The new Italian reissue includes full credits.  It varies from track to
track, but the gist of it is (I'm at work, so no album in front of me, but
I just looked at these on saturday, so) ...

Paul Rudolph plays almost all of the lead guitar (he's joined on a couple
tracks by Victor Unitt of the Pretty Things / Edgar Broughton Band).

Twink plays all the drums EXCEPT "Mexican Grass War" which is original
Pretty Things drummer Vivian Prince.

John "Junior" Wood of Tomorrow plays (I think) all the bass parts (and
maybe some keyboards, too, I forget).

John Povey of the Pretty Things plays sitar (and also maybe keyboards).

John "Wally" Waller of the Pretty Things plays keyboards.

(... and Twink is John Alder - John's all over this album.  No wonder they
all needed nicknames!)

I *think* that's all the instruments, except possibly some extra acoustic
guitar and percussion by Twink & Steve Took.  Mick Farren, Silver (Twink's
girlfriend at the time), and others also made vocal contributions.  But
Paul Rudolph's guitar playing on this album is MIND-BLOWING; it almost
could've been a solo album by HIM.
