Album

Some of the songs worked on during this session were first released on the "The HELP Album" Official album.

Some of the songs from this session also appear on:

The band consisted of Paul Weller, Paul McCartney, Noel Gallagher, Ocean Colour Scene’s Steve Cradock, Young Disciples’ Carleen Anderson and The Style Council’s Steve White.

When he did ‘Come Together’ with us we were shitting ourselves, so we recorded the backing track ahead of time: ‘Let’s get this down at least’. But when Macca came in he was great. He played some guitar on it and Wurlitzer and he did some BVs with us.

Every aspect of their professional careers as solo artists is explored, from recording sessions, record releases and tours, to television, film and music videos, including everything in between.
