Strawberry Fields & Penny Lane were part of the Pepper sessions but Brian Epstein was pressuring George Martin, their seminal producer in case anyone's wondering, for a single release and so those two got released as a double A-Side. The Beatles tended not to have singles also on albums and so the mistake George Martin said he's always regrettted having weakened Pepper by releasing those tracks as a single. Similarly neither of the amazing Rain/Papareback Writer single made it onto Revolver. I think of The Beatles albums of that time, Magical Mystery Tour is possibly the greatest- genius virtually from start to finish, including Strawberry Fields & the mind-blowing I Am the Walrus. So all of Pepper and MMTour and the incredible track, All Too Much, all from 1967. Though to add I think Pepper's actually become undervalued lately; besides the obvious moments of genius like Day in the Life & Within You Without You, things like Lovely Rita, Mr Kite, Sgt Pepper Reprise are amazing out there pop music...and as beautiful & unique a track as She's Leaving Home.
