The Beatles’ Rubber Soul Special Edition
The Beatles’ new four-CD Rubber Soul special edition includes the album’s 14 songs, recording sessions, a previously undocumented John Lennon song, and the original US Capitol Records version.
The Beatles released their sixth album, Rubber Soul, in December. The group had released its first album, Please Please Me, in March 1963. The Beatles released Help! in August 1965, as the album was partly a soundtrack for their second film.
The new four-CD special edition of Rubber Soul includes the one-month recording sessions for the album’s 14 songs and the simultaneously released We Can Work It Out / Day Tripper single. The set also includes Little Girl, a previously undocumented John Lennon song assembled from excerpts of demo tapes in a mix made by Giles Martin.
The mono master recording on the third disc of the special edition is the mix that The Beatles and producer George Martin originally intended for Rubber Soul. The fourth CD contains the 12-song original US version released by Capitol Records.
That 12-song US version removed four tracks from the standard UK edition and added two songs remaining from the Help! album.
