Paperback Writer/ Rain

Originally released on Capitol 5651. This is the reissue on Apple Records. In case you've forgotten, the B side of this single is more enduring in some ways than the A side... it's one of the touchstones where a lot of power pop pioneers (e.g., Big Star, Beck) got their inspiration. This is the rarer variant that has "All rights reserved... etc." on the labels. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Beatles on Apple Records factory sleeve. The labels look untouched, and the audio sounds pristine. The vinyl exhibits light storage wear, grading Near Mint.
