Apart from his solo work in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Peter Green contributed to "Rattlesnake Shake" and "Super Brains" on Mick Fleetwood's solo album, The Visitor, and recorded various sessions with a number of other musicians.
A late 1990s comeback saw Peter Green form the Peter Green Splinter Group, with the assistance of fellow musicians including Nigel Watson and Cozy Powell. The Splinter Group released nine albums between 1997 and 2004. It was in the latter part of this period that Peter Green picked up a black Gibson Les Paul again. Peter Green signed and sold this Les Paul, which had been tweaked for Peter Green to sound like the famous 'green burst' and is now owned by a UK enthusiast.
