Some of the songs worked on during this session were first released on the "Let It Be / You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" 7" Single.
On May 17 and June 7, 1967, The Beatles started recording their song “You Know My Name (Look Up That Number)“. The song consisted of five parts. The first part was recorded during those first two sessions. On June 8, The Beatles recorded the four remaining parts, each played in a different musical style.
On this day, June 9, from 7 pm to 11 pm, the five parts were edited together to create Take 30. Take 30 consisted of Take 9 of Part One, Take 12 of Part Two, Take 4 of Part Three, Take 6 of Part Four, and Take 1 of Part Five. A rough mono mix, without any vocals and lasting 6’08”, was then made so that acetate discs could be cut for reference.
After that, work on “You Know My Name (Look Up That Number)” was put on hold for almost two years. The vocals were finally added on April 30, 1969.

If we modestly consider the Paul McCartney Project to be the premier online resource for all things Paul McCartney, it is undeniable that The Beatles Bible stands as the definitive online site dedicated to the Beatles. While there is some overlap in content between the two sites, they differ significantly in their approach.
