Strawberry Fields Forever / Penny Lane

Colour print picture sleeve manufactured using the same paper stock used for regular Parlophone company sleeves at the time.
The first 250,000 copies were issued in this picture sleeve, which were a mixture of push-out centre and solid centre pressings.

K T embossed on centre label on one side (either A or AA) (U.K. purchase tax code used from 1963 until 1968)

Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London:-
Side A: 24 Nov - 21 Dec 1966
Side AA: 29 Dec 1966 - 17 Jan 1967

A is an edit from two takes of the song (the join occurs at 1 minute in) with the first section being keyboard, guitars and drums and the second section an alternate recording including brass, strings and backwards percussion.

EMI reissued this (along with every other U.K. 7” single by The Beatles released on Parlophone / Apple between 1962 and 1970) in 1976 in a green and white card sleeve using the same catalogue number.
