8. Strawberry Fields Forever (Lennon/McCartney)
Take 26
15 Dec 1966
The information given is all wrong. Takes 1, 25 and 26 of this song were played in the key of B natural. Takes 2-7 were in B flat. They are a semitone apart. No versions exist in A or C. There is also no acetate of Take 26, only of Take 7, and this isn't it!

Pitch correction: -6.4%

Liner notes:
There's two takes for this song
First a slower version-A- (key on Bb) and a faster version-B- (key on C)
The previously released version consists of take A & B with controles speed, and it is also remixed.
This version is Take B with a different mix
Taken from original acetate
