THE BEATLES
"STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER/PENNY LANE"
PARLOPHONE RECORDS Cat# R 5570
UK 7" pressing & custom picture cover
**********************************************************
JOHN wrote a beautiful psych piece here, and PAUL came to the table with a fantastic composition too. These songs were intended for the next album - which became Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - but Brian Epstein was pressed by the record company for another single to put out as soon as possible.
It was a very nice pairing, and the tunes were of a typically EXCELLENT quality, another high point for THE leading pop band!
In the UK, this was an unusual format for any single release. Few issues got a custom cover.
A cool collectable then, from the premier group in all music history.
CONDITION;
The VINYL is EXCELLENT for the playing surfaces.
LABLES are clean and without tears or writing - however the punch-out centre has been removed
The special (limited) custom Picture Cover is EXCELLENT, clear colours, clean paper and no seam splits. One tiny pen mark, hardly noticeable. The '£' sign in black, rear frame and John's child sweater are blue.
A cool original copy on this collectable single. Please see photos.
