RUBBER SOUL


Rubber Soul is the sixth album released by the Beatles on Parlophone records..It is considered to be the very first Beatles album to feature all original compositions by Lennon,McCartney,Harrison and Starr.No cover songs were included in this album unlike in previous LPs where they covered some songs written by other artists.
It is the album where the Beatles' sound came on its own.Very unique and creative.Unfortunately the album once again was butchered by Capitol Records and some of the tracks were altered on the so-called US version of the LP.The original UK version consists of 14 tracks while the butchered US version contains only 11 tracks of some which were altered.
The album was released in December 3,1965 and it went to the number one spot of the Billboard charts on January 1966.In 1988,EMI unified the worldwide catalogue and the butchered US versions of the LPs were deleted.They were now only available[the US LPs] either on bootleg and box sets.
