Paul attending the recording of Marianne Faithfull’s LP “Love in a Mist” at Decca A1 Studio

So that would have been in the afternoon before going to Brian Epstein’s house for the Pepper press launch (with Kenny Everett and Linda).

It’s indeed a Mick produced and Glyn Johns engineered Marianne Faithfull Session at Decca, featuring regular collaborator Jon Mark on guitar (the blond guy)

Marianne Faithfull was in studio recording some Lennon & McCartney songs and Paul came along to lend his support.

So this session could be an unreleased Faithfull cover of With A Little Help From My Friends exactly a week before Sgt Pepper’s was out.
Now was it on the day of the Pepper press launch (19th) or the next as the Rolling Stones database suggests, I don’t know.

From Paul McCartney Colorized Triptych, Decca Studios, London, 1967 | San Francisco Art Exchange (sfae.com) – By Gered Mankowitz – The original shots were taken in 1967 at Decca Recording studios in London where Mick Jagger was producing Marianne Faithfull and Paul came along to give support.  The three individual images were combined into one montage and colorized for this release.
