I think it was just the two non-drumming members, and there's two 'Trons on
the sleeve. There's a live in 1975 disc available, with more dual-'Tron
action than you could shake a stick at, although it's cruelly abbreviated
from a longer recording, to the extent of editing tracks down. Three SFF
albums (two with 'Tron), and three F&F without drums, one with 'Tron.
General rule of thumb in these cases - if it's got the 'Tron, it's worth
hearing. :-)
