“Are The Beatles on their way out now?,” asked The Daily
Sketch. Said a critic at The Sunday Mirror: “They have,
to put it bluntly, goofed. ‘Paperback Writer’ would have gone into
my junk box had it been by another group.”
They were speaking of this, The Beatles’ 12th
single: a work signaling the transition from their rock ‘n’ roll
era into psychedelia. Though not an official double-A-side release,
both songs warrant a detailed examination by Richard and Robert.
Find out if they concur with the contemporaneous words of producer
George Martin: “A pretty ordinary rock beat…As far as I’m
concerned, there are other tracks I much prefer to it.”
Hosted by award-winning author Robert Rodriguez, Something About The Beatles is an intelligent but entertaining examination of The Beatles' music and career. Smart, funny and surprising - just like the Fab Four.
