RELEASES ON THE 2/10/26

First released on 3rd December 1965, "Rubber Soul" marked a pivotal moment in The Beatles' evolution. Arriving at the end of a remarkable year that saw John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr reach artistic and commercial heights, the album revealed a band pushing beyond the conventions of pop music and embracing a more adventurous approach to songwriting and recording.

Recorded over four weeks during October and November 1965, following the band's record-breaking concert to more than 55,000 fans at Shea Stadium in New York, "Rubber Soul" captured The Beatles at a creative crossroads. Featuring classics including Drive My Car, Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown), Nowhere Man, Michelle, Girl and In My Life, the album saw The Beatles experiment with new instruments, sounds and recording techniques, and is widely regarded as having pioneered the long-form pop album as an art form.

Widely heralded as one of the greatest albums of all time and a milestone in the evolution of the pop album, "Rubber Soul" reflects the start of a period when, unburdened by concert, radio or film commitments, The Beatles’ music, ideas and unbridled creative ambitions began to truly flourish.

All of the new "Rubber Soul" formats feature the album's new stereo mix, sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes. The audio is brought to the fore in stunning clarity with the help of cutting-edge de-mixing technology developed by the award-winning sound team led by Emile de la Rey at Peter Jackson's WingNut Films Productions Ltd., while remaining faithful to the spirit of the original recordings.
