Single - 31. Eleanor Rigby
3. Releases.
"Eleanor Rigby" was released simultaneously on 5 August 1966 on both the album Revolver and on a double A-side single with "Yellow Submarine" on Parlophone in the United Kingdom and Capitol in the United States.[13] It spent four weeks at number one on the British charts,[10] but in America it only reached the eleventh spot.[14]
The song was nominated for three Grammys and won the 1966 Grammy for Best Contemporary (R&R) Vocal Performance, Male or Female for McCartney. Thirty years later, George Martin's isolated string arrangement (without the vocal) was released on the Beatles' Anthology 2. A remixed version of the track was included in the 2006 album Love.
In 1984, a re-interpretation of the song was included in the film and album Give My Regards to Broad Street, written by and starring McCartney. It segues into a symphonic extension, "Eleanor's Dream."
4. Surround version.
A surround version of this song is available on the DVD-audio disc of the collection Love, the running time of which is approximately 2:26, the original version clocking at 2:07. The difference is explained by the added string section intro on Love.
