My god. I own this album, but haven't heard it in, what, 30 years? But I remember that riff as the one great thing on the album. How wonderful to hear it here.

I swear I don't remember commenting on this riff, but maybe I did...if so, kudos to forgetful me!

You did ... http://mog.com/Johny/blog_post/52691

Nice post - a favorite album of mine for sure. Can I ask why we don't see Eric Clapton credited in the liner notes under the musicians? He's mentioned in the literature: "Back at EMI in Abbey Road, George recorded the British contingent, including Eric Clapton, Tony Ashton and others in the Remo Four, plus Ringo Starr, John Barham and Tommy Reilly." However, clearly listed in the front are "the musicians" - with no other guitarist mentioned other than Colin Manley. What's this all about then?

personnel on Wonderwall Music:

England (December 1967) John Barham – piano and flügelhorn Colin Manley – guitar and steel guitar Tony Ashton – jangle piano and organ Philip Rogers – bass Roy Dyke – drums Tommy Reilly – harmonica Peter Tork – banjo (uncredited) Eddie Clayton (Eric Clapton) – guitar Richie Snare (Ringo Starr) – drums (rumoured)

India (January 1968) Aashish Khan – sarod Mahapurush Misra – tabla and pakavaj Sharad Jadev – shehnai Hanuman Jadev – shehnai Shambu-Das – sitar Indril Bhattacharya – sitar Shankar Ghosh – sitar Chandra Shekhar – surbahar Shiv Kumar Sharma – santoor S. R. Kenkare – flute Vinaik Vora – thar-shehnai Rij Ram Desad – harmonium and tabla-tarang

E.C. ...should have cuffed my ears good for not knowing or reasoning that - seems obvious enough eh. Richie Snare - no it just couldn't be. Ya think? Of course it is ..see him drinking and shminking on Nilsson's album in 1972: http://www.discogs.com/release/682504

Thanks for helpin me fill in the factino gaps.. :)
