"...it was later revealed that McCartney used his voice of the original recording of the 1970 Beatlestrack and addded it to the Ferry Aid recording"

"The first artist to record their part was Mark King..."

Wouldn't the last quote tecnically be wrong, since McCartney, according to the first quote, preceeded Mark King by 17 years? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.251.198.62 (talk) 11:51, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Group performances[edit]

Who wrote Samantha Fox was involved? Her names is not featured on the back sleeve where all the people who contributed are listed.Dollvalley (talk) 22:51, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Order of first appearance[edit]

Sorry but that list was wrong on several counts -- including Jim Diamond, who does not have a solo spot. Source: it's on YouTube.76.113.104.58 (talk) 02:55, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suzi Quatro is missing from the list too[edit]

While searching the web for proof that Suzi Quatro really was a member of Ferry Aid, I found http://www.lynpaulwebsite.org/NS-Novelties.htm#anchorFerryAid which seems to give a comprehensive list of the members. I have added a musical artist infobox for the group with all of the group members listed by this source, but have not used the list to update the main text of the article.

I wonder if it would be appropriate to include a scan of the back cover? As we can't have too many non-free images, we should lose the image of the record itself, which doesn't really contribute information. The JPS ^{talk to me} 11:51, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think that only scans of the front covers are allowed under the Wikipedia non-free image usage rules. Have added an external link instead. Peter Loader (talk) 16:48, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

i am editing the video, frame by frame at the moment, and suzy quatro is clearly to be seen in the video a few times..

So who sang first?[edit]

This is interesting. Mark King is billed as being the first to record his part, but it is also known that McCartney recorded his contribution back in 1969, 18 years before Ferry Aid. His was a sample. So, how do you present this properly? The Big Hoof! (talk) 22:35, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
