-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?

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.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

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?

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")

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 love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!

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).


I love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!

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