The fourteenth official EMI release.
No changes to the label, the manufacturers rights in Upper case, the "sold in U.K." statement is still in the centre, so all
as was. But, the push-out centre became a solid centre with this release. In November 1966 EMI changed from a push-out
centre to solid centre's as a default, although one could still request a push-out centre if desired. Obviously, unless the
discs were required for juke boxes, hardly anyone took up this offer, and therefore almost all Beatle releases from this one
will have a solid centre. And logically therefore, any previous releases you have WITH a solid centre must be re-pressings
from AFTER November 1966.
The biggest new event in Beatledom was, only two Beatles singles were released in picture sleeves, and this is the first of them.
If yours is in mint condition it will be worth about £25, but I am sure that you like me, took your Strawberry Fields
everywhere you went, every party, every get together around your mates houses ... and consequently the sleeve looks a tad
"lived in" ... never mind ... hindsight is a wonderful thing !
Also see following, the picture disc version released in England as part of the,
"It Was Twenty Years Ago" series, on 16th February 1987. |
