I thought Saltwater was produced by Jeff Lynne - but it isn't.

You mean the other way round - Freiheit's hit was nearly three years earlier.

The Call of the Wendigo wrote:George Harrison style guitar solo.

According to Wikipedia:

The recording features a lead guitar solo in the style of George Harrison. Lennon originally wrote a guitar solo for the song. At the suggestion of his producer Bob Ezrin, he then contacted Harrison to play the solo instead. Harrison was busy at the time consoling Eric Clapton whose son had recently died. He recorded a couple of riffs and sent them back to Lennon. Guitar player Steve Hunter then played the actual solo on the song, combining elements of both Lennon's and Harrison's solos. In the liner notes for the Help Yourself album, Harrison is given special thanks.

I'm not sure it's a song that lends itself to such a treatment. It's not a particularly nimble tune. It has a lot of long notes.

"Here's a song that's been Number One in 11 different countries, so far." Excited
