Paperback Writer/ Rain

In addition to its classic hit side, this single's flip side, "Rain," is more enduring in some ways... it's one of the touchstones where a lot of modern power pop (e.g., Beck) gets its inspiration. Like many Beatles singles, neither of these tracks appeared on any contemporary Beatles album (they should have been on "Revolver"). Note: This copy has beautiful, Near Mint labels with virtually no ringwear. It comes in a beautiful picture sleeve graded EX to reflect some very light ringwear and light wrinkling (see scan). The vinyl is somewhat scuffed-looking, grading EX. The A side audio sounds like a strong EX to me... quite enjoyable! The B side audio is somwhat noisier, grading a weak EX.
