doesn't get as much attention as it might get otherwise.

Producer Tony Visconti -- a fine musician himself, a professional musician since his early teens -- mentions in his autobiography that when he was producing a song Linda McCartney had written, he was playing bass on it and felt intimidated to think Paul would hear it. A couple of years later he was at McCartney's recording studio in Sussex when Paul showed Tony his old Hofner bass, with the Beatles' setlist from the early 1960s still taped to it with old, yellowed tape -- "Twist And Shout" and "I Saw Her Standing There" and most of their other songs from Please Please Me.

That was in 1985, so that setlist had been taped to the guitar for more than 20 years.
