The Scaffold were a comedy, poetry and music trio comprising Mike McGear (Paul McCartney’s brother), Roger McGough and John Gorman. To promote the release of their album “L the P,” they issued the track “Stop Blowing Those Charity Bubbles” as a single.
The single version differs from the one found on the album. It was re-recorded, retitled “Charity Bubbles,” and features Paul McCartney on lead guitar.
According to John C. Winn in his book “That Magic Feeling: The Beatles’ Recorded Legacy, Volume Two, 1966–1970,” the B-side, “Goose,” — which does not appear on the album — also features Paul McCartney on lead guitar, with Nicky Hopkins contributing on piano.
