Promotional issue. Capitol records only issued four true promotional 45 singles in 1967 and 1968:
All genuine pressings of this single were pressed at Capitol's Los Angeles plant (look for an asterisk * in the dead-wax) . Capitol prepared its promotion copy of the single prior to receiving the new 2:57 mix. Thus, the promotion record lists "Penny Lane" at 3:00 and contains Remix 11 with its unique rumpet solo ending. Capitol reportedly pressed later promotion records using the new mix; however, this has not been confirmed. Promotion records, Capitol issued as double A side (Strawberry Fields Forever has lower master number). Regular record: First Press: Orange and yellow swirl label without "subsidary" print. The picture sleeve, Capitol used the same pictures, graphics and layout of the British sleeve. One side of the sleeve features a color photo of the group taken by Jean-Marie Perier. This photo was taken the same day as the Strawberry Fields Forever /Pany Lane promo film shoots on 30 and 31 January 1967, in Knole Park in Sevenoaks. The other side of the sleeve is designed to look like a page from a photo album, complete with mounting corners and childhood pictures of the Beatles. A circlar "PRINTED IN U.S.A." appears in the upper right corner of the photo album side. Initial pressings of the record incorrectly list the running time of "Penny Lane" at 3:00. The later issue was corrected 2:57 time. There are East Coast and West Coast version. East Coast press: picture sleeve issued in straight cut top. West Coast press: picture sleeve issued tub cut. |

does not have the ending trumpet solo, was sent to
Capitol a week later to replace the earlier version. Its running time
is 2:57. By the time Capitol received the new and shorter mix, labels
had already been printed with the time listed at 3:00. Rather than risk
a delayed release and incur additional printing costs, Capitol decided
to press the 45 with the existing labels. |

Rather than risk a delayed release and incur additional printing costs, Capitol decided to press the 45 with the existing labels. Although discs with the 3:00 labels are first pressings, records listing the time as 2:57 sre slightly more valuable because fewer of these later discs were made. |
