Beatles Session Musicians Who?


A dozen or so of us were hashing over old Beatle’s songs last week and it was amazing how many folks had heard that so-and-so played on this song and so-and-so on another. Outside of the obvious and well-documented contributions of an Eric Clapton or Billy Preston, there seemed to be little proof to the pudding regarding others. All this leads me to this question:

Does anyone know of an authoritative source which lists “who played what” on individual songs? I realize that the list may not be complete and “London Symphony” may have to suffice for some background stuff – but you get the picture. I do not want to believe, for example, that George did not appear at all on Blue Jay Way and I’d like to have some proof! ;(

There was an interview with John Lennon in Playboy back in the 80's before he was murdered. They asked John about each and every Beatle song and what its meaning was. He went through the whole list describing who wrote what & what it was about. I am still kicking myself in the keester for not keeping that copy. It is an awesome story.
