The Beatles
“Rubber Soul”
(Dec. 3, 1965)
As good a place to start as any.
This is when the band’s approach began to change noticeably, songwriting and evolution of album-sound concept.
Using as few as I can, because I assume this’ll be a popular choice. I’ll stick to 3 for now. Could’ve chosen several triplicates.
One of my favorite George contributions within The Beatles
Not the strongest track on RS, but elements of it I like.
There are a large number of US Beatles fans who contend that the original US tracking of Rubber Soul is superior to the UK. Almost by accident, of course. I happen to be among them.
The biggest variation was the Stereo copies of the US pressings had this alternate version of I'm Looking Through You. This version leaves the two false starts on the beginning of the track. All other versions had it edited out, including the Mono US version.
