The Beatles

Can anyone help with this clue. Its on a question sheet where all the answers have to be an
address/thoroughfare. Question: 1967 Beatles No. 1 according to the Melody Maker.
I know it must be the album Abbey Road or the double A side singles "Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields". I'm not sure which though as there are conflicting dates and chart lists on the web. Much appreciate any assistance.

Strawberry Fields Forever / Penny Lane was released in 1967.

Abbey Road was released in 1969.

Thanks MarkRae - that was super fast. You must be a Beatles buff.

I most certainly am.

While Melody Maker may say it got to number 1 many people say it did NOT get to number 1 and was kept off the top spot by Release Me by Engelbert Humperdink.

Penny Lane of course is a thoroughfare wheras Strawberry Fields was a address, so not sure if the answer is one or the other or both.

While I think it was released as a double A sided single officially Strawberry Fields was the A side, Penny Lane the B side.

The British Book of Hit Singles confirms that Strawberry Fields Forever / Penny Lane DID NOT reach number 1.
