You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)
“Good evening and welcome to Slaggers”
A Lennon-led novelty B-side built around a single repeated phrase he saw on a London phone book, performed as a multi-style sketch (lounge, ska, cabaret, comedy). Notable for Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones on alto saxophone – a rare non-Beatle credit.
