The Beatles seventh studio album Revolver, released on 5 August 1966 reached #1 on both the UK and US charts. It was ranked number 1 in the All-Time Top 1000 Albums and number 3 in the Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. It was a departure for The Beatles and their first experiments in Psychedelic Rock. George Harrison had continued to experiment with the sitar and transcendental meditation and John Lennon had done the same with LSD. Above all, producer George Martin continued to work his magic and create the other-worldly sounds The Beatles heard in their heads.
Two songs in particular helped define Psychedelia in that era, John's "Tomorrow Never Knows" from Relvover and George's "Within You, Without You" which didn't appear until the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band the following year, however both songs were developed during the Revolver sessions. The real rarity here is George Martin's blending of the two songs. John and George had never directly corroborated and Martin masterfully melded the two concepts into one piece and included bits of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds". Both Lennon and Harrison nixed the idea, preferring their songs to remain separate entities, but never-the-less Martin's vaulted version finally came off the shelf in late 2007.

For their final album The Beatles turned to a producer other than George Martin for the first time. "Wall of Sound" legend Phil Spector stepped in as the final authority and by all accounts over-produced the group. Spector's orchestral arrangements and choral backgrounds are truly stunning and resulted in a sting of hits for The Beatles to ride out on, but some Beatles' fans felt Spector's grandiose vision somehow buried the group behind the wall of sound Phil was famous for. So, when three decades later, George Martin restored the original Abbey Road sessions to their pre-Spector pretentiousness fans around the world finally had a brand new old album. Titled simply Let It Be - Naked all vestiges of Spector's medaling were stripped away and once again The Beatles plus fifth Beatle Billy Preston came shinning through.

This song was originally released as the B-side of their final single "Let It Be" in 1970. It was recorded in four separate sessions beginning with three in May and June 1967, and one in 1969. The song is a music hall comedy number. Lennon came up with the lyric/title after seeing a phone book. He said: "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."
McCartney has been quoted as saying it is probably my favorite Beatle track! It's so insane. All the memories ... I mean, what would you do if a guy like John Lennon turned up at the studio and said, 'I've got a new song'. I said, 'What's the words?' and he replied 'You know my name look up the number'. I asked, 'What's the rest of it?' 'No, no other words, those are the words. And I want to do it like a mantra!"
All four Beatles participated in the first three recording sessions on 17 May, 7 and 8 June 1967. A saxophone part was recorded on 8 June which was played by Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones.
The song was left unreleased and untouched until 30 April 1969 when Lennon and McCartney laid down all the vocal tracks and added additional sound effects with the help of Mal Evans. George Harrison and Ringo Starr did not participate in this last session. Nick Webb, second engineer on the 30 April session described it this way: " John and Paul weren't always getting along that well at the time, but for this song they went out on the studio floor and sang together around one microphone. Even at this time I was thinking 'What are they doing with this old four-track tape, recording these funny bits onto this quaint song?' But it was a fun track to do."
Despite the fun sessions described by McCartney and Webb, the song was not released for another year. Eventually released as a Beatles song, "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" was nearly released as the A-side of a Plastic Ono Band single. Lennon was determined to have this song released, and he arranged for Apple to issue the unorthodox songs as a Plastic Ono Band single. On 26 November 1969, four months after Jones drowned in his swimming pool, Lennon edited "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)", reducing the length from 6:08 to 4:19, a more suitable length for a single. The Plastic Ono Band single was given an Apple catalogue number (Apples 1002) and British release date of 5 December 1969.
Apple issued a press release, describing the record as Lennon and Yoko Ono singing and backed by "many of the greatest show business names of today" which the press believed was a thinly disguised reference to the Beatles. The record was cancelled before it was issued.
Three months later, the song was released as the B-side to The Beatles' single, "Let It Be." The original Plastic Ono Band single catalogue number is visible on the 45 RMP disc, though scratched out, in the runout groove of the original British pressings of the "Let It Be" single.
