In 1966, The Beatles would play their last ever concerts to paying audiences and record Revolver – many people’s nomination for the greatest album of all time. Amidst the Revolver sessions, Paperback Writer was recorded and released as a single backed with possibly the greatest B-side of all time, Rain.
Known more widely for its incredible a cappella vocal intro, Paperback Writer also contains one of The Beatles’ best overdriven guitar riffs. You haven’t heard it properly until you’ve heard it in mono.
