I wondered about that!

On a tangential note... We know Jimmy worked with the Stones, but  
what about The Beatles? I'm currently reading Mark Lewisohn's "The  
Complete Beatles Chronicle"--it's an essential tome for any  
Beatlemaniac, presenting detailed, chronological listings of every  
known Beatles performance and recording session as well as their TV,  
film and radio appearances.

So I'm reading thru 1963, and mention is made of the BBC program "Pop  
Go the Beatles," for which the Fab Four would record a half-dozen of  
their songs at a time (these sessions were one source for the "Live  
at the BBC" official release and also ended up on a 10-disc boot set  
on Great Dane). They would also have guest groups at each session.  
One of the earliest such sessions, taped June 1, 1963, featured  
Carter-Lewis and the Southerners as guests. The same band then  
guested on another "Pop Go the Beatles" program recorded July 10 of  
the same year.

Now, it's well known that a certain James Patrick Page was at one  
time a member of C-L and the S... So, trainspotters, when exactly was  
he in said group, and did he cross paths with the Beatles in the  
studio on these or any other occasions?

Btw, the studios in which the Beatles recorded these programs are  
familiar names to any Zephead: Maida Vale, Aeolian Hall, BBC Paris  
Studio...
