Wow. That's hard to imagine.

November 1966, John comes into the Abbey Road Studio with his acoustic guitar to play "Strawberry Fields Forever" for maestro producer George Martin. Martin is so taken with the song that he tries two radically different approaches: a slow tempo with just the Beatles, a fast tempo with orchestra. John likes the beginning of the former, the end of the latter. So Martin speeds up one, slows down the other and splices them creating one of the most innovative songs in pop music history.
Shortly thereafter, Paul plays "Penny Lane" for Martin and says he wants the song to have a "special sound"- something akin to what he'd recently heard at a performance of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. "There was a guy playing this fantastic high trumpet." Paul says. "Can we use it?" Martin hires David Mason of the London Symphony Orchestra, who contributes a spectacular solo on the piccolo trumpet.
