"Paperback Writer" #1 6/25/1966

From the "Revolver" sessions came a stand-alone single, the 13th #1 in America for the Beatles in just over two years. Paul played lead guitar, which he did more frequently as they retreated farther into the studio. The previous day, they started what turned out to be their final world concert tour with three shows in Germany - Münich, Essen, and where it all began for them in Hamburg. We'll have a few posts about that tour coming up, since it was a watershed moment in 60's music. Yes, they're singing "Freré Jacques" in the background.
