I'm pretty sure Gilmore is on the album.

I thought it might list all the members of the Blues Project on the cover,
but you can't always trust album covers. Especially on
30-years-after-the-fact reissues when there probably wasn't much
documentation for the original.

One of my favorites: The cover of Headquarters lists Peter Tork as playing
12 string guitar and Mike Nesmith playing 6 string. Tork plays 12 string
acoustic on one song. He also plays 6 string on another. On the other hand,
Nesmith's main guitar at the time was a 12 string electric that he plays on
most of the album. He's even playing it on the back cover pictures.
