Never heard that before either, but Page was a top session man in the mid-60s, so I'll bet it's true! Possibly he played the guitar on "Ringo's Theme" (ie. the instrumental "This Boy ") or the "James Bond" stuff in Help !, or something else in either of those. By the time of MMT, he'd joined the Yardbirds and would've too busy to contribute to that one. (Assuming MMT even has soundtrack music – I've never seen it.)

OK, yep, he played on "Ringo's Theme". The stuff you learn! Thanks for starting this thread, let me give you one of my defective apples:

You noticed! Isn't it great?! A simple matter of posting, editing out the html crap, and re-posting. (Should've thought of it long ago - it seems so obvious in hindsight.)

Oh my God , I wonder how many other great ones played with/for them over the years, and we still don’t know it. Eric’s playing in While My Guitar… was kept as a secret for many years. I guess the Fab Four weren’t as self-sufficient as I thought they were…

That's really interesting! Both Jimmy Page and Clapton as Beatle musical assistance...
I also wonder who else was behind the scenes of some of the music...

Clarification: Jimmy Page played backing guitar on Ringo's Theme. Lead guitar was played by Vic Flick. It was also Vic Flick who played guitar during the "James Bond" segment on American pressings of Help !. (Source)

Further clarification: Jimmy Page, unlike is suggested by the title of this thread, did not play on any Beatles tracks. He was among the session musicians George Martin employed for George Martin Orchestra soundtrack recordings.
