and we'll finish off this session with probably my favourite Beatle combined "A"/"B" sided single....
BEATLES "penny lane" B/W "strawberry fields forever" 1967
this single truly demonstrates the changing styles and changing musical interests of Paul and John....
"A" side is Paul's baby, pure radio friendly pop with a simplistic catchy tune and child-like nursery rhyme lyrics
"double AA" side is John's baby, a track full ofsurrealistic imagery and dreamlike lyrics that basically add up to nothing but everything
at the same time....
awesome chalk-and-cheese single from the two best songwriters not only of their generation bt of any generation of pop artists...
their first two singles,"love me do" and "please please me" peaked at #17 and #2 respectively in the UK,
their next eleven releases made it to #1, this one peaked at #2 for them in thier homeland, then their next seven all topped the charts also
no Wiki for these guys, obvious reason...if you dont know who these guys are, then you dont know music!
