However the first song recorded for Sgt Pepper was Only A Northern Song which did not make it to the final album...........
Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane were actually part of another intriguing idea for an album...........The Beatles intended at first, to record a concept album about Liverpool.......However EMI were desperate to get a single out after the Beatles stopped touring and pressured them to issue Strawberry Field/Penny Lane.......................I would love to know how the Liverpool album would have progressed if they had gone on with it.
i knew you'd come up with the goods Gryphon, thanks, i didnt know about thev'liverpool' conceptual thing, but that would have been interesting as the single SFF/PL is my favourite Beatles single
