Talk:List of people who performed on Beatles recordings

Pictures
Since the Beatles recordings were in the 1960s, shouldn't the pictures also be from the 1960s? GoingBatty (talk) 01:48, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Forenames
A number of the session musicians used on the recordings have abbreviated names. These should be, where possible, expanded to the full forename. The current names needing work are:
 * 1) D. Bradley, violin (Desmond? )
 * 2) J. Fraser, vocals
 * 3) D. Griffiths, vocals
 * 4) G. Mallen, vocals
 * 5) T. Moore, trombone
 * 6) J. Power, trombone
 * 7) J. Smith, vocals

I would have thought S. R. Kenkare follows Indian name, rather than needing expansion. MIDI (talk) 14:36, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Lomax on "Dear Prudence"
It seems like Jackie Lomax sang a backing vocal on "Dear Prudence". Need a decent source for this (I don't have access to Lewisohn or Macdonald at the moment to check...). MIDI (talk) 11:10, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Making list a table
It has been suggested that this list could be a table. Does anyone have any thoughts of how to implement this? The primary information in this list is performer name, so we'd have a sortable performer column. We then wouldn't be able to sort by song title or instrument, as many individual performers appeared on multiple recordings playing different instruments. This is where it seems to fall apart for me; we'd just be stuffing the current info into a cell which has no benefit (other than by sorting performer name, and given this is currently an alphebetised list we aren't really that far away from that anyway)...

 * I don't know how it would get formatted for Wikipedia, but here's something I put together in spreadsheet format in Google Docs. --luckymustard (talk) 16:18, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
