As the 50th anniversary of the Beatles saga rolls on, it recently reached a major milestone: a half century ago they released the single “Paperback Writer” and “Rain.” This was a huge turning point in the Beatles’ career, as the single ushered in huge changes in songwriting, instrumentation and recording.As detailed in the two meticulously researched books on the Beatles’ musical output written by Mark Lewisohn (The Beatles’ Recording Sessions and The Complete Beatles Chronicle), the two songs were recorded in 1966 over April 14 and 16. The sessions for Revolver had recently begun, and the two songs were preceded by work on tracks that included “Tomorrow Never Knows,” “Got to Get You into My Life” and “Love You To.”
