BEATLES MUSIC BREAK 1: With all the heavy-duty talk in Lecture 16 about the dreaded “More Popular Than Jesus” controversy and the many other dark episodes of 1966, we could definitely use a Beatles music break in History 207! Here is one of the most beloved singles from the Beatles’ Middle Period, “Paperback Writer,” a song attributed to Lennon–McCartney, but written primarily by Paul McCartney. The song ticks off all the boxes of a classic Middle Period Beatles tune: the “dirty” sounding guitar lick (as John described it), a heavy bass line that matched up beautifully with Ringo’s emphasis on bass drum, great harmonizing vocals, and groovy lyrics about a person aspiring to become a “paperback writer.” Released as the band’s eleventh single in May 1966, the song skyrocketed to the #1 spot in multiple countries, including Canada, the United States, and the UK. And it was the first non-love song to enjoy that distinction, a sign of the changing times. The promotional film for “Paperback Writer,” posted here, was filmed at the palatial Chiswick House in West London. Director Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who later directed the Beatles documentary Let It Be (1970), helmed this promotional film, shooting it in breathtaking colour. It’s a delight to watch!
