Paperback Writer by The Beatles – ****

First released: 1966

This is one cool track. The version that echoes on "writer" which I believe is the single mix is my favorite. If I'm wrong let me know. This version was also used in The Beatles cartoon. It was performed by The Beatles regularly during the 1966 tour, but it pales in comparison as admittedly, it was difficult for them to recreate the harmonies accurately with all of the screaming fans. It also appears on 1973's "1962-1966". It first appeared on CD on "Past Masters, Volume Two" in 1988. It's also on 2000's "1".

Later on as a solo, Paul performs a live version for 1993’s "Paul is Live" and on 2009’s "Good Evening New York City".
