In 1967, R.C., “Penny Lane” by The Beatles peaked at number one on the pop singles chart.
In 1967, The Beatles went gold this day — receiving a gold record for the hit single, “Penny Lane”. The “B” side of the hit was the popular “Strawberry Fields Forever”. Trivia: There were at least two different endings to the song. Radio stations were furnished with a 45-rpm version that featured a trumpet solo of seven notes, sustaining on the final note into Ringoʹs cymbal conclusion. Record buyers however, heard the words “Penny Lane” at the end of the song, into a sustaining note under Ringoʹs cymbal with no trumpet fanfare. The original version shows up on the “Rarities” album on Capitol Records. Those having the original “Promotional Copy” of the song have quite a valuable find. “Penny Lane” is found on the American release of the “Magical Mystery Tour” album, but not the British “EP” version. While a number one song in America, “Penny Lane” made it to number two in England, causing some to wonder “if The Beatles were beginning to slip,” according to “The Beatles — An Illustrated Record”.
