The third recording session for ‘You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)’ was one of the most interesting, involving a guest appearance from a Rolling Stone, and the recording of four separate parts of the song.

Paul McCartney had invited Brian Jones of the Stones to the session, although it was expected that he would bring his normal musical instrument.

It was Brian Jones of the Stones. He turned up very, very nervous with a sax, and we said ‘Oh, we thought you’d bring a guitar!’ and he’d brought a sax. I invited him to the session. Absolutely definitely Brian of the Stones. Unequivocably, as they say.
