I dunno Jules..seems some conflicting info floating around
the thing is, the record actually sounds like an EMI TG was used..
Maybe tracked TG and mixed API?
Dunno for sure..
Maybe my info is wrong but this TG mixer site says otherwise
[check in the pictures section ..under EX: Pathe-Marconi]:

Quoted from the TG site:

"Pathe-Marconi - A desk with a history.

Originally from EMI Pathe-Marconi studios in Paris, this Mk3 console is installed in songwriter/producer Terry Britten's "State of the Ark" studio in Richmond, southwest London.
While in Paris this console was used to record the Rolling Stones Grammy nominated album "Some Girls" and several tracks of the follow ups, "Emotional Rescue" and "Tattoo You" , notably the classic "Start Me Up", with Engineer Chris Kimsey."
