Just came across an interview where Jimmy recounts being in the studio with John Barry and Shirley Bassey.
I've never seen this mentioned before, thought it was pretty cool.
I've heard this as well, probably in an old Guitar World interview. Page is not the most reliable narrator after all that rock n roll excess but he did a lot of session work around the same time so it's not entirely inconceivable.

I heard Vic Flick once say he ' showed him a few things'. So he could have been hanging around.

Page writes about this in his memoir, and I've heard other stories about it. But . . . I never quite knew what to make of it because Vic Flick was on the song recording, and I can't say i hear multiple guitars on the song.
So, Flick, Page, George Martin, and Bassey have all shared anecdotes about the recording.

Oh to have been a fly on the CTS booth wall.

Let me add Barry to that list--he also had his anecdotes about the session, specifically adding the wah-wah trumpets at the last minute.
One could write a nice little piece about the recording of this song, quoting Barry, Page, Bassey, Flick, and Martin.
Did eric Tomlinson engineer? Were Bricusse and/or Newley there?
