Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
Rank 'em how you like, Rubber Soul is an undeniable pivot point in the Fab Four's varied discography no matter where, or how, you first heard it. So many classics: 'Drive My Car' and 'Nowhere Man' merge the early combustible Beatifics to a burgeoning studio consciousness; 'The Word' can be read as a pre-psych warning shot; the sitar-laden 'Norwegian Wood' and the evocative 'Girl' (the latter written on the last night of the sessions) stand as turning points in John Lennon's oeuvre. George finally emerges too, with the McGuinn-ish 'If I Needed Someone'. --Don Harrison

- Poor recordingI wont comment on the performances as these have been covered thousands of times since the album was released. But I will say that I think that this is a very poorly mixed album, with all of the vocals on the right, the instruments on the left and nothing at all in the middle. Surely the technology at the time allowed better placement than this.
No wonder Phil Spector made his famous "back to mono" rant.

- Band in TransitionThis is an album that shows a band in transition. You can see plenty of signs of the Beatles song writing maturity such as Norwegian Wood, Nowhere Man, Girl and In My Life. These songs show how the band were growing up quickly as their fame grew and it's remarkable how willing they were to display their thoughts and feelings in their songs. John sounds positively menacing in Run For Your Life, with lyrics a far cry from the band's cheeky chappy image.
There also plenty of the brilliant ... Read More

- Rubber soul will never be erased.This classic album is one of the most popular Beatles albums and certainly marked a change of musical direction for the boys as well as a more mature and "deep" style of music. I've been a Beatles fan for over 20 years now and as I have grown, so has my love and understanding of the music, which has never dated, more than 40 years on. I shall now give a brief runthrough of the album, track by track.

- POT, BOOZE AND A DASH OF DYLAN, FOLK ROCK NEVER SOUNDED BETTERMcCartney has always stated that the years 65-67 represented the true zennith of his and John's songwriting. The triplet of albums Rubber Soul, Revolver & Sgt Pepper marked a distinct shift away from the wholesome boy/girl pop of the early singles and quite simply changed the face of popular music forever. The Beatles were indeed 'on fire'.
Rubber Soul is hugely influenced by Bob Dylan and it is predominately a folk rock record full of accoustic guitars, those trade mark 3 and 4 part harmonies ... Read More
