CHRIS JOINS THE BEATLE BRIGADE
It was quite a rave night at Chappell’s new London studios last week when Chris Barber’s band recorded a Paul McCartney composition, “Cat Calls.” Pictured in the studio are Brian Auger, Chris and Paul. Others who looked in were Ottilie Patterson, Jane Asher, Vic Briggs, of the Animals, and Viv Prince. The single will be released on the new Marmalade label.

A strange meeting of the giants. Chris Barber, million-selling trad man was in the recording studios (Chappells fabulous new studio in Bond Street to be precise) and so was Paul McCartney. The reason? Well, if you haven’t read it before, it was for Chris to cut Paul’s song “Cat Calls”. Among those present were Paul and Jane Asher, Chris Barber and his Band, Ottilie Patterson, Brian Auger, Vic Briggs of the Animals and Viv Prince. The single will be issued on the new Marmalade label.

If we modestly consider the Paul McCartney Project to be the premier online resource for all things Paul McCartney, it is undeniable that The Beatles Bible stands as the definitive online site dedicated to the Beatles. While there is some overlap in content between the two sites, they differ significantly in their approach.
