Indicative of the changing-style Beatles music which would follow eight weeks later on Revolver, Paul McCartney's Paper Back Writer was the group's most progressive single to this time, a world away from She Loves You of three years previous. Still a number one single but not as successful as its ten predecessors, Paperback Writer was first recorded on 13 April during Revolver sessions and was their first single of 1966, released on 10 June and recorded in two takes and an overdub on 13 and 14 April.
