Notes

Colour print picture sleeve manufactured using the same paper stock used for regular Parlophone company sleeves at the time (1967).
The first 250,000 copies were issued in this picture sleeve, which were a mixture of push-out centre and solid centre pressings.

K T embossed on centre label on one side (either A or AA) (U.K. purchase tax code used from 1963 until 1968)

Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London:-
Side A: 24 Nov - 21 Dec 1966
Side AA: 29 Dec 1966 - 17 Jan 1967

A is an edit from two takes of the song (the occurs at 1 minute in) with the first section being keyboard, guitars and drums and the second section an alternate recording including brass, strings and backwards percussion.

EMI reissued this (along with every other U.K. 7" single by The Beatles released on Parlophone / Apple between 1962 and 1970) in 1976 in a green and white card sleeve using the same catalogue number.

[Track durations are approximate, and are not listed on this pressing]

      My version of this has Matrix/Runouts 7XCE 18415 -1 GHA KT 0 and 7XCE 18416 RDP KT 7 . The former of which is the same as from the solid-centred version.

        IMO we need a seperate contribution of the picture sleeve version, of course it sold nearly 200k copies but even more without the p/s and if you see the items in the marketplace 80% came without the sleeve and the most are not in good shape!
