Rubber Soul [VINYL]

Their first proper album in my opinion and what a beauty it is. No filler and all the tunes penned and arranged by the group. The harmonies and instrumentation is a cut above anything I've heard from 1965 and is a clear indication of future quality to come. Great quality vinyl, wonderful remaster.

It’s the Beatles what’s more to say Either love them or love them a little less

This is the album where the Beatles finally reached maturity as artists. No covers of US R&B/Motown acts. Every track was written by the Fab 4. The album sounds terrific- filled with iconic tunes that helped the Beatles become the greatest pop/rock band of all time. Original, innovate and clever hooks combine with "the 5th Beatle" George Martin's production techniques- pushing the envelope and developing new recording techniques. I was a small boy when this was released and some of my earliest memories were formed listening to this album and is part of the soundtrack to my formative years. Every record collection should include a copy of this album.

Love this Beatles album. This is the second time I have purchased this LP. The first time was when I purchased it way back in the 60s. ( It was a Mono copy ). That was 60 plus years ago. Now I had decided to buy an up to date copy with Stereo mixes. I am not disappointed but rather delighted with the excellent sound quality received from this disc. I can now feel as though I am reliving my first time experience of when I first heard this LP.

So clear. Excellent

The Beatles' 6th album is largely considered one of their first genuine masterpieces. Sure, previous records were of course groundbreaking at the time and still are, but Rubber Soul is the first consistently great release, that feels more like an album than a collection of songs on one disc - in my opinion anyway! 'Rubber Soul' is also one of the few Beatles albums with a consistent sound all the way through. What I mean is; you can justifiably label each song as folk rock / melodic rock n roll, whereas other releases tended to have at least one massive curve ball somewhere, sticking out like a lightning rod amongst the others, e.g. the Proto Heavy Metal of 'Helter Skelter' or the...whatever 'Revolution 9' is from 'The White Album,' and many more. In some ways, it's the first 'serious' Beatles album. Song wise, they're all very short and sweet and instantly memorable. The only drawback of this album is it's consistency. Songs are so similarly paced and stick the the same blueprint, that there isn't too much variation.

A great record

Bought as a gift for my mum, her favourite beatles song is "In my life" so she was very happy with this record. No issues with the record either.

Llegó en buenas condiciones, el sonido es bueno y no tardó mucho en llegar. Un increíble álbum, el mejor de The Beatles en mi opinión. Vale la pena la compra.

Rubber Soul is widely regarded as the fist of Beatles really great albums. In Mono it just sounds better than it does in stereo. In Mono your hearing the way the Beatles actually wanted it to sound as the Mono version was mastered in conjunction the Beatles & producer George Martin, the various stereo verisons (including the original 65 stereo) were done later on without direct inputs from the Beatles. For the mastering of this 2014 edition of Rubber Soul LP (Mono) they went back to the original analogue multitrack master tapes & carefully followed the notes left behind by the original mastering engineers who worked on matering the original Rubber Soul (Mono) LP at Abbey Road in 65. Thanks to general advancement in technology, with these 2014 edition Mono LP's they were able to unlock in even more sonic detail from the original analogue master tapes than what was possible in the original 60's pressings, while maintaining the original sound. The quality of the Vinyl pressings is also great.

Boa mixagem, disco excelente.

My first copy of this album on any format, so it's mostly all new to me. Surprised how much I enjoyed it considering it's 55 year old music, but then it is The Beatles after all. I enjoyed the mix. I have nothing to compare it to, but other than for purists and major enthusiasts, I'd imagine most casual listeners will find it sounds great regardless of the source of the masters. It really did sound fresh, as though it had been recorded much more recently than 1965. Clean pressing, good sound. Sleeve is a little sparse by modern standards, but then I expect it's meant to be a replica of the original.

Deciding on Beatles album is very tough. This has a very special connect to my college days and love every song. Great way to start the morning
