Description:

In 1988 Paul McCartney named You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) as his favourite song by The Beatles. This cache is created in honor of this song and all other The Beatles B-sides. The song was originally released as the B-side of the single "Let It Be" on 6 March 1970, less than a year before Paul filed a suit for the dissolution of the band on 31 December the same year. It would for that reason be their last ever singles.

The Story:

The story of the song's origins goes like this: John had arrived one night at the studio with a song which was basically a mantra: 'You know my name, look up the number.' And It was uncertain who he was aiming this at, but it might have been an early signal to Yoko Ono. It was John's original idea and that was the complete lyric. He brought it in originally as a 15-minute chant when he was in space-cadet mode and other guys said, 'Well, what are we going to do with this then?' and he said, 'It's just like a mantra.' So they said, 'Okay, let's just do it.

However, in the book All We Are Saying (2000) by David Sheff John Lennon is quoted saying: ”That was a piece of unfinished music that I turned into a comedy record with Paul. I was waiting for him in his house, and I saw the phone book was on the piano with 'You know the name, look up the number.' That was like a logo, and I just changed it.” Now visit the site with your newly acquired knowledge about the song.
