Duane Allman plays on tracks 2, 3, 5 & 7.

Both on the LP and the CD is wrongly mentioned that Duane Allman plays on tracks 3, 5, 7 & 12.
(Duane Allman plays on Wilson Pickett's version of 'Hey Jude' from the 1969 album 'Hey Jude' and not on this King Curtis version).

In the liner notes of the 1994 compilation CD release 'Instant Soul: The Legendary King Curtis' (Razor & Tie RE 2054) is mentioned that tracks 3 and 7 (Foot Pattin' and The Weight) were recorded on January 2, 1969 in Memphis, but according to the liner notes of 'Duane Allman: An Anthology Volume 2' (Capricorn 2CP 0139, 1974) the track 'The Weight' was recorded at Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL.

And according to the liner notes of 'Duane Allman: An Anthology' (Capricorn 2CP 0108, 1972) the track 'Games People Play' was recorded on February 19, 1969 at Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL.

According to the liner notes of the 7-CD box set 'Skydog: The Duane Allman Retrospective' (Rounder Records 11661-9137-2, 2013) the tracks "Hey Joe" and "Foot Pattin' " were recorded on January 2, 1969 at American Sound Studios in Memphis, TN and the tracks "Games People Play" and "The Weight" were recorded on February 19, 1969 at Fame Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals, AL.

45 rpm single releases:
Games People Play / Foot Pattin' - Part 2 (Atco SD-45-6664, February 1969). Duane Allman plays on 'Games People Play'.
On the album version of 'Foot Pattin' Duane Allman plays the guitar solo that starts at 1'45" and ends at 2'09". But 'Foot Pattin' - Part 2' starts at 2'28" into the song and that's after Duane's guitar solo.

Instant Groove / Sweet Inspiration (Atco SD-45-6680, May/June 1969). Duane Allman doesn't play on these songs.
