Yeah, that's a great song. When I was 12 years old my parents bought a CD player and some albums like The Best of Los Indios Tabajaras (??) and Neil Diamond Greatest Hits. Among them were the compilations Beatles 1962-66 and 1967-70. I thought "The Beatles, they did Yellow Submarine, didn't they? Oh well, let's give them a listen". I liked their early songs quite a bit but when I heard Paperback Writer I was blown away!! The a capella breaks and the rockin' guitar were like nothing I had heard before. I also remember that Strawberry Fields Forever, A Day In The Life and I Am The Walrus used to scare the hell out of me and I would skip them, until I realised that they were psicodelic masterpieces.
