Peter's contribution is only acknowledged along with Tim, Eddie Rayner and Wally Ingram on the Live cd.
That credit, I always felt, referred to the members of CH at the time of the release of RD - not to anyone who had been a member previously (Paul, Tim). That's not the result of some hasty packaging of the album; that's very specific and intentional. That says, "Regardless of who's been in the band before - and that includes Paul Hester, who plays on the new songs - Crowded House are Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, and Mark Hart. Period." And, at the time of RD's release, CH were still an active band. That, along with the fact that Paul played on the new tracks, would lead one to assume that they considered CH a three-piece group at that time - meaning Peter Jones wasn't ever an official member of the band.
