Gene, "Walk Away Renee" was recorded in early 1966, I believe "Elenor Rigby" was done prior to this. On "Renee" we employed a string quartet a flute and our keyboard player used a harpsichord. The reason we did the pseudo classical thing was, we were only sixteen years old and our piano player was classically trained so his chops were proficient in that genre, at last count "renee" has been covered more than 100 times by various artists. Thanks for asking,Tom Finn
