Notes: On this day in May 1966 The Beatles filmed a number of promo videos for "Paperback Writer" and "Rain" - their new single.
These promos would be for broadcast in America and Europe. All promos were filmed onto video tape.
After filming 4 takes of "Paperback Writer" they then taped two takes of "Rain" which were also edited together for broadcast on "Ready Steady Go".
A brand new restored edit, taken from both takes, was featured on "1+"" (Blu-ray) in November 2005.
