Strawberry fields forever - The King's Singers

With a suggestive sleeve like this (there's even [gasp!] a nipple on the back cover!) and a disc pressed on red vinyl, it's no wonder that my interest was piqued. Especially when it contains a version of one of my favourite Beatles songs, 'Strawberry fields forever'. I would think this is quite a rare record, but to my surprise there's a lot of copies available online.  

The King's Singers is a British vocal ensemble founded in May 1968 in Cambridge, England.  Countertenor singers Alastair Hume & Nigel Perrin, Tenor singer Alastair Thompson, Baritone singer Simon Carrington & Anthony Holt, Bass singer Brian Kay were the former members of the ensemble.  The King's Singers are now Patrick Dunachie (countertenor), Timothy Wayne-Wright (countertenor), Julian Gregory (tenor), Christopher Bruerton (baritone), Christopher Gabbitas (baritone) and Jonathan Howard (bass).

My collection: 7" single no. 7597
Found: Record fair, Rotterdam, 1 March 2025
Tracks: 'Strawberry fields forever' / 'Disney girls (1957)'
