Strawberry Fields forever Video

[Phil McGarrick]

Strawberry Fields forever was written by John Lennon and released in February 1967 as a double A-side single with Paul McCartney's "Penny Lane" for The Beatles.
The Shadows made an instrumental version for their 1990's album Reflection.
This is based on The Shadows instrumental version.
The superb backing track was made by a friend Phil Cogan who made an exact replica of the Beatles version. - A terrific amount of work went into the making of his backing track. Not only with the instruments but also the mixing, panning etc to make it authentic to the Beatles original.
Many thanks to Phil for letting me loose on it.!!
I certainly had fun making this one.

Hope you like Strawberry Fields Forever.

Cheers Phil

Thanks Ian, Fred and Ecca - mine was the easy bit based on Hank's arrangement - all credit to Phil C for the making of the BT.
Love to hear you play it Ecca I'm sure you would come up with something special - Phil C has asked me not to pass the BTon but worth you contacting him.

All the best.. Phil

Hi Phil,
Wonderful playing and video as usual .. as they say "blessed are those who play Beatles' songs as instros" .. for they shall ...
Maybe we'll have to ask PhilC for the answer to that.

Cheers
