Her er noget om optagelsen, fundet på nettet :
Gerry recorded his part first and Paul and the Christians went in the studios together. Holly Johnson was in Germany at the time and recorded his vocals after the others had all finished. Waterman had to explain to Gerry that their recording technique was different from what he had in mind. He was to comment, ‘He (Gerry) wrote it as a pop song. When we produced it with four artists, we did it as a tribute, which changed the whole meaning of why the song was being recorded. Gerry had recorded it with George Martin as a hit; we were now recording it with Paul McCartney and everybody else to raise money for a charity. We were creating an emotional message to wrench money out of people’s pockets. Our job was to make money for an appeal and for that we had to be mercenary.’
In the middle of the record, Paul lets out a wail. Waterman commented, ‘He goes out of tune and he wanted me to take it off and do it again and I wouldn’t let him. I said, “Why did you do it?” and he said, “Well, it’s just how I felt.” And I said, “Then it stays!” Linda McCartney called me up afterwards and said, “You know, you’re probably the only person who’s ever told Paul McCartney that he couldn’t have his own way. But all of us down here think you’re absolutely right; we think it’s marvellous to hear him showing some emotion.'”
