-I know that Yoko Ono sang on "Bungalow Bill" (you can hear her voice, which almost sounds like a child's)

-Eric Clapton played guitar on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

-George Martin played the instrumental on "In My Life"

-I just found out on another thread that Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones played sax on "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)"

I would love to find out more.  What you guys got?

I have a reverse of this...did u know John and Paul sang back-up on the Stones "We Love You" ('67)..?

the stones helped on all you need is love too....

There aren't a lot of guests that play conventional rock/pop instruments. Clapton, The Stones, Brian Jones. Billy Preston, of course. I guees Andy White was also a guest. Mostly the guests were classical musicians. And of course George Martin playing the odd harpsichord, and organ.

In All You Need Is Love apart from the crappy Jagger-Richards  , Marianne Faithfull and Patti Harrison are singing backgrounds. Yoko and Patti are also in Birthday. Maureen is in Bungalow Bill. George Martin also plays that fantastic honky-tonk piano in Lovely Rita and Rocky Raccoon. And also Mal Evans play a lot of percussion in some records, like Mr Kite he played harmonica or tambourine in Dear Prudence.

Well, there are many guests. Who doesn't want to work with the Fab Four?  

Linda McCartney sang the high back-up vocal on Let It Be

I don't know that Stones song, unfortunately.  Too bad John and Paul didn't guest on one of their #1's ("Ruby Tuesday" or "Get Off My Cloud")

david mason, who played the trumpet on penny lane. well, i think it was him.

I'm really enjoying this thread!

Not forgetting the instrument of hammer and anvil, which he played in Maxwell's Hammer...

And (I think) Mal Evans also played the alarm clock that is really faint that goes off just before "Woke up, got out of bed ..." in "A Day in the Life".

I've read that it was too fast for him, and so they recorded it at half speed then sped it up for the record.

Also ... have heard that he played the piano on "Long Tall Sally". It has been so long since I've listened to anything but live versions of this (obviously no piano), I was actually quite shocked when I did recently listen to the album version and heard the piano ... it really changes the song. Actually, except for parts of a phrase here and there, the whole album version seems so much tamer than the live versions (like the BBC version, or various youtube versions).

And that's Mal counting the 24 bars of the orchestral passage.

Alister Taylor & George Martin are the people talking at the very beggining of
Revolution #9.

Yoko Ono & 2 Apple Scruffs appear on the Wildlife Version of Across The Universe

sounds more like Tiny Tim singing backround in Bungalow Bill than Yoko (just kidding)

Didn't Nicky Hopkins play on Revolution?
