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 Near Mint labels with a touch of outer-ringwear. It comes in a beautiful, Near Mint picture sleeve that's bright and shiny with almost no wrinkling or ringwear. The vinyl is somewhat scuffed-looking, grading EX. The audio grades a strong EX, reflecting a touch of surface noise and a bit of wear... quite enjoyable!
