About
From Wikipedia:
[…] Rubber Soul was the tenth album by the group in the US, released three days after the British LP by Capitol Records in both the mono and stereo formats. It began its 59-week chart run on Christmas Day, topping the Billboard Album chart for six weeks starting on 8 January 1966. The album sold 1.2 million copies within nine days of its release, 1,800,376 copies by 31 December 1965 and 2,766,862 by the end of the decade. To date it has sold over six million copies in America.
The American edition differed markedly from its British counterpart. Four tracks were removed and set aside for the next American album, Yesterday and Today: “Drive My Car“, “Nowhere Man“, “What Goes On” and “If I Needed Someone“. These were replaced with two tracks from the UK Help! album: “I’ve Just Seen a Face” and “It’s Only Love“. The total time was 28:55, nearly 7 minutes shorter than the British version. Through peculiarities of sequencing, by placing the Help! tracks at the beginning of each side, Rubber Soul was deliberately reconfigured to appear a “folk rock” album to angle the Beatles into that emergent lucrative American genre during 1965.
First pressings of Rubber Soul on the black/colorband Capitol label does not show THE BEATLES between the album title and the group’s individual names; this was later corrected to include the group name.
The stereo mix sent to the US from England has what are commonly called “false starts” at the beginning of “I’m Looking Through You” which are on every American stereo copy of the album from 1965 to 1987. The US version of “The Word” is also noticeably different because it has Lennon’s double-tracked vocals, an extra falsetto harmony on the left channel during the last two refrains, with some percussion panning to the right and then the left channel during the instrumental break. The 1965 American stereo and mono mixes are available on compact disc as part of The Capitol Albums, Volume 2 boxed set. In 2014, the Capitol edition of Rubber Soul was released on CD again, individually and included in the Beatles boxed set, The U.S. Albums. […]
