What a great read. Love this quote especially: "Ringo appeared on all three others’ solo records, most notably Lennon’s first, Plastic Ono Band, where he set down a new visceral authority in rock drumming and teased a new riddle from the band’s interpersonal chemistry: here Lennon and Starr’s musical intimacies rival Lennon and McCartney’s." I missed Sheffield's list but here's my Top 10 Solo Beatles:
Where is the documentation for George playing on Mind Games and Walls and Bridges? Methinks this is a myth. The slide-y parts that sound like George (but not really) are handled by either Sneaky Pete Kleinow on pedal steel (Mind Games) or Jesse Ed Davis (Walls) or John himself (both).
Will check my sources for Mind Games and Walls and Bridges, but definitely Imagine for his "How Do You Sleep" slide. Lennon also showed up at others' sessions and played uncredited we know. Does Lewisohn have this info? Tim

John Lennon - God
George Harrison - Hear Me Lord
Paul McCartney & Wings - Band On Run
John Lennon - Cold Turkey
John Lennon - Isolation
Paul McCartney - Live And Let Die

first check proves you right, where did I get this idea that GH played on those albums? no idea... should never have put it out there unchecked... TR
