A few days before filming started for 'Penny Lane', Goldmann shot a promo for 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. Both shoots presented a challenge for everyone involved owing to the Musicians' Union ban on any action that could be construed as miming. Despite these limitations, both the films Goldmann made were so innovative that neither would have looked out of place on MTV a decade and a half later.

The piccolo trumpet solo is great!

Bobby figured out how to get around that.
A perfect pop song by Paul. Sadly, 80% of what he’s produced since the Beatles has been pure dreck.
I believe Lennon & McCartney had planned for ‘Penny Lane’ and ‘Strawberry Fields’ to be included on ‘Sgt. Peppers’. The record company pressured Lennon & McCartney to release them as singles so there would continue to be Beatles music on the radio while they were recording ‘Sgt. Peppers’.
Unfortunately, it was also the policy of the record company not to include songs on an album if they had been released as singles prior to the album coming out. So, ‘Strawberry Fields’ & ‘Penny Lane’ were left off ‘Sgt. Peppers’. Too bad, it would have been a much better album if the they had been included.
‘Strawberry Fields’
Is there a meaning to that term that’s I, a not-cool guy, might not be aware of?
No... it was a park in Liverpool. Both Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields refer to actual places in Liverpool.
Before they came up with “Sgt Pepper’s” it was going to be a concept album based around the Beatles childhoods.
“Penny Lane” and “Strawberry Fields Forever” came out of that idea.

True.. it was supposed to be concept album about their childhood in Liverpool... the release of this double single changed the plans. Pepper is still considered a concept album but the title song with reprise as sort of bookends are really the only connecting links.
“No... it was a park in Liverpool.”
Thanks. Perhaps “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, and “Rocket Man”, both by Elton John have hidden meanings.
Elton John did not write “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was written by Lennon. Of course, it appears to be a reference to LSD. Lennon insisted to his grave that he came home one day and his young son Julian showed him a drawing he had made of his classmate Lucy flying in the sky with diamonds and that's where it came from. I'm skeptical, but Lennon was pretty open about sources of their songs and he insisted to the end that it had nothing to do with LSD.
