	The missing one here is "Strawberry Fields Forever" recorded in November and into December of 1966. I would add "For No One" by the Beatles it's sounds almost classical with it's combination piano/clavichord sounds. I would add the Yardbirds "Over Under Sideways Down".

	I thought Strawberry Fileds Forever was finished in early 1967, but you are confirmed by Lewisohn's "The Beatles: Recording sessions".
