This 1976 UK pressing of The Beatles - "Paperback Writer" / "Rain" 7" vinyl single offers collectors an authentic piece of mid-seventies rock history. Released by Parlophone under catalogue number R 5452, this 45 rpm record captures a monumental shift in the band's studio sound. This specific variant features the iconic black and silver Parlophone label with the essential 'EMI RECORDS LTD' rim text and the highly regarded -4/-2 matrix configuration (stamped 7XCE 18380-4 1 RD on Side A and 7XCE 18381-2 KT 10 GHG on Side B). Please note that this copy features a large centre hole, as the original 4-pronged push-out centre has been neatly removed, making it perfect for jukebox use or playback with a standard 45 adapter.

We have conservatively graded the vinyl in clean VG+ (Very Good Plus) condition. The record retains a healthy factory lustre, showing only a few minor, superficial signs of previous play that do not impact the overall visual appeal of the disc. On the turntable, it offers a remarkably clear, dynamic audio performance, allowing the intricate layers of "Paperback Writer" and the backwards-tape wizardry of "Rain" to shine through with excellent analogue warmth and minimal background distraction.

Whether you want to close a gap in your UK Parlophone discography, source an authentic record for a vintage jukebox, or secure an collectors-piece of Beatles vinyl, this beautiful seventies reissue delivers massive historical value. It stands as a well-loved, highly collectible artefact that is ready to spin and enjoy.
