on the subject of session sheets, an AFM APB: has anyone got the listings for who's playing on the 'sixteen musicians' session from jan 23 1967? the two sessions from this day are the missing bit of the surf's up puzzle: the first one with the drums, bass, two guitars, trumpet and three (probably) saxes - no sign of any of that in what's out there in bootland - and the 'sixteen musicians (mostly strings)' - also missing from bootland.
The AFM sheet I've got only lists 10 musicians (well, 8 really) - it's for the 3.00-6.00pm session.
thanks, AGD - i've got that one, i think: Hal Blaine, Roy Caton, Bill Green, James Horn, Jay Migliori, Bill Pitman, Lyle Ritz, Carl and the (non-muso) Chuck Britz and Diane Rovell. it's the later session that i don't have anything for, except the vague 'sixteen musicians' and 'mostly strings' - any info appreciated.

On the 11/4 session, Jimmy Bond is almost certainly playing a string bass.
On the 11/7 session, I'm looking... and no listing for Joe Saxon.
Well, I'll be stripped naked & whipped with a wet noodle...where'd I get THAT from?
Actually, I know...I got it from a file I typed and saved off my copies of the AFM sheets,
rather than from the actual thing itself...who knows why I put Saxon's name there?
SORRY... ::)

I don't have an AFM sheet for the 6:30-9:30 session (the mysterious "Part One"), but I do have a Capitol Records "Popular Session Work Sheet", and it gives SOME of the names:
Jesse Ehrlich (cello, arranger)
Ralph Schaeffer (violin, arranger)
Robert Hardaway (oboe, English horn)
These three are listed because they played "doubles", although there is a notation implying that the doubles were "denied".
BTW, I looked this up from my actual copy of the actual sheet, rather than my apparently dubious typed files thereof... :)
Andrew G. Doe:
Interesting - the only other case of doubles being requested and denied that I'm aware of was on the "George Fell..." session, when Brian tried to get the horn players paid for ther 'vocal contribution'.
Boiled Egg:
at least we'll know this session if it ever surfaces in bootville, then. oboe/english horn (cor anglais to us brits, inexplicably) isn't an instrument brian made very much use of. the only notable example that springs to mind is I'm Waiting For The Day, where a cor anglais doubles the vocal line in the verses.
