Paul on ‘Penny Lane’ - "I remember saying to George Martin, ‘I want a very clean recording.’ I was into clean sounds – maybe a Beach Boy influence at that point."

"The ‘fireman with his hourglass’ and all that imagery was us trying to get into a bit of art. The lyrics were all based on real things. There was a barber called something like Bioletti (I think he’s actually still there in Penny Lane) who, like all barbers, had pictures of the haircuts you could choose. But instead of saying, ‘The barber with pictures of haircuts in his windows,’ it was changed round to: ‘Every head he’s had the pleasure to have known.’ A barber showing photographs – like an exhibition."

"Penny Lane was the depot I had to change buses at to get from my house to John’s and to a lot of my friends."
