Penny Lane (London Brass Ensemble Series) Paul McCartney John Lennon & / Arr. Iain Maxwell

Penny Lane is one of the most popular and recognisable songs from the vast output of The Beatles. It was released in February 1967 as a double a-side with Strawberry Fields Forever, in what has been described as the greatest single ever released. The single found The Beatles at their artistic and creative peak, and Penny Lane - as much as any of their songs released in 1967 - summed up the techni-colour world that burst forth from the monochrome early 1960's, and the positive spirit that anything was possible.
