We will look at one of their best singles: "Paperback Writer" and the B-side of "Rain".
The songs were not included in the "Revolver" or "Yesterday and today" LP's in the US or elsewhere.
In fact, "Paperback writer" was finally released in a US LP "Hey Jude" & "1962-66" or greatest hits LP released in 1973. Unfortunately, "Rain" was not released in stereo for a long time.
"Rain" was clearly ahead of its time. It could have been released on "Sgt. Pepper's" or "Magical Mystery Tour". At the end of the song, the vocal track is placed in reverse, which is why the lyrics don't make any sense.
A great 45! As you can see, the 45 cover photo was a mistake. It shows John & George playing the guitar as lefties. Was that a mistake or done on purpose? I've often wondered!
