Notes: Paul recorded an audio only short message and exclusive song for use at the "Fashion Aid" charity event held at the Royal Albert Hall in London in early November.
This was then played over the PA system at the event.
The charity event was organised by Bob Geldof.
It was a rare event in which three Beatle wives were all present with Yoko making an introductory speech and both Olivia and Barbara being featured on the catwalk.
From all accounts, although the Beatle wives appearances were filmed (and seen in the home video), Paul`s contribution was not.
That night "BBC News", "London Plus" and "Whistle Test" all featured footage from the event.
The entire show was filmed by Kevin Godley and issued the next year on home video (in the UK only).
Also, Fuji TV in Japan, who were one of the sponsors, broadcast the Kevin Godley special adding in some Of their own exclusive interviews with Bob Geldof and a Japanese designer.
This Japanese TV special was uploaded onto Youtube in May 2020.
