Rubber Soul
3 December 1965ParlophoneUKGeorge Martin
The first Beatles album conceived as a whole. Folk-rock, a sitar, French pastiche, and John’s first major autobiographical lyric (‘In My Life’) — all delivered against Robert Freeman’s stretched cover portrait.
Territorial note
Capitol dropped four UK tracks and added ‘I’ve Just Seen a Face’ and ‘It’s Only Love’, creating a more acoustic US Rubber Soul that strongly influenced the American folk-rock boom.
