During Donovan's introduction of Jimmy Page at the Royal Albert Hall concert, Donovan reminded everyone that back in 1966 Jimmy Page been paid 13 Pounds as a session player for playing Sunshine Superman. Presumably Mr. Page was paid an additional amount for our favorite guitarist's other work on the Sunshine Superman album. Listen for his distinctive sound on Season of the Witch
