In the mid-1980s, both McCartney and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]George Harrison[/lastfm] produced tracks for a self-titled album Eddy released that featuring a long list of guest stars.
That was shortly after his appearance on [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Art of Noise[/lastfm]‘s version of his late ’50s hit “Peter Gunn” had propelled him back into the charts.
Eddy recorded a version of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Wings[/lastfm]‘ “Rockestra Theme” with McCartney producing at Paul’s Hogg Hill Mill Studios in England. He tells us, “Linda was still with him then, [and] he was just so professional.”
Eddy also recalls that George told him that [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The Beatles[/lastfm] had tried to meet him when he played Liverpool in the pre-Beatlemania days, but that they weren’t dressed well enough to be allowed into the hotel he was staying at.
