"Strawberry Fields Forever" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. ... Lennon based the song on his childhood memories of playing in the garden of Strawberry Field, a Salvation Army children's home in Liverpool.
Why is it called Strawberry Fields? The title of the song refers to the Salvation Army-ran girl's orphanage – dreamily called “Strawberry Field” – that Lennon lived near growing up in Liverpool. ... In six weeks, he had a working version of the song that would come to define the Beatles' second act. John Lennon's childhood wasn't particularly happy. ABOUT THE LABEL. PARLOPHONE LABEL.
Founded in Germany in 1896 by the Carl Lindström Company, the brand name Parlophon was initially used for gramophones before the company began making records. The £ trademark is a German L, for Lindström, that it resembles the British pound sign is coincidental. In 1923, the British branch of "Parlophone" (with the "e" added) was established, which became a leading jazz label in the UK.
In 1927 the Columbia Graphophone Company acquired a controlling interest in the Carl Lindström Company and thereby in Parlophone. In 1931 Columbia merged with the Gramophone Company to form Electric & Musical Industries Ltd (EMI). Under EMI the Parlophone company initially maintained its status as a jazz label.
George Martin became Parlophone label manager in 1955, and in 1962 it was Martin who signed The Beatles who quickly turned Parlophone into one of the world's most famous and prestigious record labels. In 1965, the Parlophone Company was absorbed into EMI's Gramophone Company unit (renamed EMI Records in 1973) with the Parlophone label maintaining its identity.
The label was rendered dormant in 1973 when most of EMI's heritage labels were phased out in favour of the new EMI Records label, but it was revived in 1980. The label is now part of Warner Music Group, which acquired the Parlophone Label Group in February 2013.
Here we have a very, very rare, though albeit subtle variation, and this is one of the rarest titles to find it on. In later 1968 the tax codes were phased out due to the Resale Price Conditions being reformed, as such records after this date didn't necessarily need to display a tax code (however some still did), as I'm sure you know many later 60s pressings of earlier 60stitles are the very rarest, most sought after there are, and this is one such title. Yes the ones missing the Sold In UK text are more odd looking and therefore scream out "collect me I'm strange!", and the solid centres too! But I'd argue that in my experience these are comparable in rarity, even if they don't at first glance look as stand-out! One of the rarer late 60's titles to find is strawberry fields forever , and this is one such copy, standard Upper-case Parlophone rims were still being used up, but absolutely no central tax code embossed on the4-prong central disc. Very rare, very subtle and very interesting!
