About This Track

“Rain” is a song by the British rock band The Beatles, credited to Lennon/McCartney. It was first released in June 1966 as the B-side of the “Paperback Writer” single. Both songs were recorded during the sessions for Revolver but neither appears on that album.

Written primarily by John Lennon, “Rain” has been called The Beatles’ finest B-side, especially notable for its heavy sonic presence and backwards vocals, both of which were a hint of things to come on Revolver, released two months later.

A promotional film was made for the song “Rain”, starring the Beatles. This video, along with other Beatles videos at the time, sparked George Harrison to say during the Beatles Anthology, “So I suppose, in a way, we invented MTV.”

    Ringo's drumming is top notch on this song, and Paul's bass playing is like nothing I've ever heard before. What a man.

    Some of the best drumming and bass on a Beatles record. Paul effectively made the bass a lead instrument on this (as he often does) and it sounds amazing.Brilliant effects with the backwards vocals and on those ethereal guitars by Lennon and Harrison.
