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

It was so good to hear this cd, the quality was good so much better than the one I purchased from e.bay a few years ago. Good quality sound just like the original LP.
Things start to get interesting......

Progress was hinted at on the Help album, although that album still had a certain amount of filler. But this was The Beatles pushing the boundaries of 60s music. Many a band were left behind after this (i.e Freddie And The Dreamers, Gerry And The Pacemakers) and who could compete with songs such as Drive My Car, Nowhere Man, Norwegian Wood, Girl, The Word, In My Life, You Won't See Me, I'm Looking Through You, etc. Nice to see George Harrison given the opprtunity to air a couple of his songs as well.....Think For Yourself and If I Needed Someone were very accomplished. As George said, he couldn't see much difference in style between Rubber Soul and Revolver.....yes, it's that good!
2009 CD: Poor remastering.

2009 CD: Poor remastering.
The CD may reveal new details on portable devices or in a car; however, it is a rather frustrating experience on a decent kit. Dynamic range apparently is severely compressed; as a result the sound is subjectively unpleasant - all just loud and lacking any climax.
This release does not do the justice to the album.
OH, what could have been...

It's too bad that the Beatles' policy for releasing material meant they put out some awesome singles without those songs being included on the albums. Just think what Rubber Soul could have been if "The Word", "What Goes On" and "Run For Your Life" had been replaced by "Day Tripper", "We Can Work It Out" and "Yesterday". A shame they were forced to put such subpar material on this album.
