I TOLD THAT GIRL
THAT MY PROSPECTS
WERE GOOD..
AND SHE SAID
"BABY IT'S UNDERSTOOD"..
Rubber Soul
is the sixth
studio album
by the
English
Rock band
It was released on
December.3rd 1965
in the United Kingdom
on EMI's
Parlophone label,
accompanied by
the non-album
double A-side single
"We Can Work It Out" / "Day Tripper".
The original
North American release,
issued by
Capitol Records,
contains ten
of the
fourteen songs
and two tracks
withheld from
the band's
Help! (1965)
album.
Rubber Soul
was described as
an important
artistic achievement
by the band,
meeting a
highly favourable
critical response
and topping
sales charts
in Britain
and
The United States
for several weeks.
The recording sessions
took place in
London
over a four-week period
beginning in
October 1965.
For the first time
in their career,
the Beatles
were able to
record an album
free of concert,
radio or film
commitments.
Often referred to
as a
folk rock album,
particularly in its
Capitol configuration,
Rubber Soul
incorporates a
mix of pop,
soul and folk
musical styles.
The title derives
from the
colloquialism
"plastic soul"
and was
the Beatles' way
of acknowledging
their lack of
authenticity
compared to the
African-American
soul artists
they admired.
After
A Hard Day's Night
(1964),
it was the
second Beatles LP
to contain
only original material.
