Rubber Soul [VINYL]

Product Information

Most of the songs on Rubber Soul were composed soon after the Beatles' return to London following their August 1965 North American tour. [4] The album reflects the influence of their month in America. [5] Aside from setting a new attendance record when they played to over 55,000 at Shea Stadium on 15 August, the tour allowed the band to meet with Bob Dylan in New York and their longtime hero Elvis Presley in Los Angeles. [6] Although the Beatles had released their album Help! that same month, the requirement for a new album in time for Christmas was in keeping with the schedule established with EMI in 1963 by Brian Epstein, the group's manager, [7] and George Martin, their record producer. [8] According to Everett, the same bouzouki-like guitar sound was used by the Hollies in their June 1966 single " Bus Stop". [163]

Lennon recalled that Rubber Soul was the first album over which the Beatles took control in the studio and made demands rather than accept standard recording practices. [60] According to Riley, the album reflects "a new affection for recording" over live performance. [61] Author Philip Norman similarly writes that, with the Beatles increasingly drawn towards EMI's large cache of "exotic" musical instruments, combined with their readiness to incorporate "every possible resource of the studio itself" and Martin's skills as a classical arranger, "Implicitly, from the very start, this [music] was not stuff intended to be played live on stage."
