About
Recording of the backing track of “Stardust”. Paul McCartney is credited as arranger for this track, on the sleeve of “Sentimental Journey”.
From 7 November 1969: Recording: Stardust by Ringo Starr (beatlesbible.com):
The third recording session for Ringo Starr’s debut studio album, Sentimental Journey, took place on this day.
He taped the song ‘Stardust’ with George Martin producing. The session lasted from 7-10pm, and took place at Wessex Sound Studios in north London.
‘Stardust’ was made famous by Hoagy Carmichael in 1929, and was recorded by many other singers afterwards. Starr’s version was arranged by Paul McCartney, with assistance from George Martin.
The backing track consisted of strings, horns, piano, chimes, acoustic guitar, bass guitar and drums. Starr overdubbed his lead vocals on 14 November 1969.

If we like to think, in all modesty, that the Paul McCartney Project is the best online ressource for everything Paul McCartney, The Beatles Bible is for sure the definitive online site focused on the Beatles. There are obviously some overlap in terms of content between the two sites, but also some major differences in terms of approach.
