About


BEATLES back at the top

THE Beatles released Engelbert Humperdinck from tenancy of the top of the MM’s Pop 50 with their double hit “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “Penny Lane”.

The group are working on their new album — a follow-up to their “Revolver” hit LP. Their A & R man George Martin told the MM: “We are working every night on the album from seven o’clock until two in the morning. It’s even more way out than ‘Revolver’.

The LP, which is half completed, will not be released before April.
