The Beatles Rubber Soul Special Edition Released

UMG and Apple Corps Ltd. have released an expanded Special Edition of The Beatles' 1965 album Rubber Soul, which originally came out on December 3, 1965. The album was recorded across four weeks in October and November 1965. The release was remixed in stereo and Dolby Atmos by producer Giles Martin and sound engineer Sam Okell. Alongside the release, a visualizer video was shared for Take 3 of the second version of I’m Looking Through You. Three different versions of I’m Looking Through You were tried, with the first version recorded on October 24 and the second during a six-hour session on November 6. Paul McCartney later wrote a bridge to replace two instrumental 12-bar sections in the track's final version.

The Super Deluxe editions feature 24 early studio recordings, with 20 previously unreleased, along with three home demos. The 4CD and 5LP Super Deluxe editions come with an 88-page hardbound book that includes an introduction by Paul McCartney and a preface compiled from words by John Lennon.

In related developments, 3 Savile Row, the site of the group's rooftop concert, will be converted into a fan experience center opening in 2027. Furthermore, a four-film cinema project directed by Sam Mendes is scheduled for release in April 2028. The four films will feature Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison.
