The Beatles began recording “Penny Lane,” essentially a Paul McCartney composition, in December 1966, as part of the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band sessions. Plans changed and they instead released it as a double A side single in February 1967, with the John Lennon composition “Strawberry Fields Forever.” Going to Lennon’s house McCartney would get off at the Penny Lane bus stop.

Scandinavian filmmaker Peter Goldmann shot videos for both songs in East London with The Beatles in January 1967. He also took a film crew, without the band, to Liverpool to shoot around Penny Lane.
