THE BEATLES - STRAWBERRY FIELDS

The clip was directed by Peter Goldmann, a Swedish television director who had been recommended to the Beatles by their mutual friend Klaus Voormann. One of the band's assistants, Tony Bramwell, served as producer. Bramwell recalls that, inspired by Voormann's comment on hearing "Strawberry Fields Forever" - that "the whole thing sounded like it was played on a strange instrument" - he spent two days dressing up a large tree in the park to resemble "a piano and harp combined, with strings". The clip presented the Beatles' new group image, since all four had recently grown moustaches, following Harrison's lead. In addition to a handlebar moustache, Lennon wore his round "granny" glasses for the first time as a member of the Beatles.
