This iconic double A side release in 1967 contained two classic Beatles hits that are both unique and very different to each other.  A lovely illustration of the different song-writing styles of McCartney (Penny Lane) and Lennon (Strawberry Fields).  Both nostalgic about their Liverpool childhoods and referring to locations around where they lived.  See how the music differs in my take on these two tunes here
