Initial
pressings
of the record incorrectly list the running time of "Penny
Lane" at 3:00. That is the length of Remix 11. Remix 14,
which 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.

COMMENTS
|
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.
Nearly all of the Capitol Beatles' records were pressed by
Capitol on both the East Coast and the West Coast.
1) East Coast singles
pressed
with labels printed by Keystone Printed Specialities Co.,
Inc. of Scranton, Pennsylvania.
: picture sleeve issued in straight cut top. (=this record)
2) West Coast
singles pressed with labels printed by Bert-Co Enterprises
of Los Angeles, California.
: picture sleeve issued tub cut.
Initial pressings of the record incorrectly list the running
time of "Penny Lane" at 3:00. That is the length of Remix
11, was sent to Capitol on 18th. January and contains the
seven-note trumpet solo at the end. Remix 14, which 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.
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.
