The Sixties Daily Trivia

Correct!  The Beatles were so remarkably prolific all throughout the sixties that even if a few months went by without a new release, the public clamored for more and EMI, their record company, got nervous. The last Beatles release had been on August 5, 1966--both the LP "Revolver" and the single "Yellow Submarine" were released on that date--so it had been a mere six months between releases, a pace unimaginable in today's pop music market. Still, EMI insisted so this double A-side single Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever was released. Both songs were masterpieces, among the greatest songs the band would create during a career that was full of great songs.
