The backing track is a rare bootleg version of Rain that doesn't have the bass guitar or lead vocal overdubs on it and is at its original speed before the track was slowed to it's released speed. Recorded with a Ric 4003 direct into Logic Pro 9. I no longer own this bass.

"The Beatles recorded Rain over two sessions. On 14 April 1966, the same day Paul McCartney taped his bass part for Paperback Writer, the group taped five takes of Rain's rhythm track, performed quickly and later slowed down.

They finished the song on 16 April, adding overdubs including tambourine, bass and extra vocals. It is likely that the backwards vocals were added on this day, when they also carried out the mono mixes that appeared on the Paperback Writer single."

  • It's not a competition. John Entwistle and Paul McCartney are both great bassplayers - just enjoy the music
