RUBBER SOUL (ROOM 225)
George Martin believes that “ ‘Rubber Soul’ presented a new Beatles to the world”. “Up until then we were making albums rather like a collection of singles. Now we were really beginning to think about albums as a piece of art on its own”. John agreed. “We were getting better, technically and musically. We finally took over the studio. We took over the cover and everything!”
Rubber Soul pointed to the future, although they still had ridiculously tight schedules. Arriving in the studios on October 12th 1965 ,they still only had a number of weeks before the album would be released on December 3rd for the Christmas market. Unbelievable as it may seem, that would also be the release date of their Christmas single ‘We Can Work It Out / Day Tripper’ ,a double A side, which was NOT on the album! George’s Indian influences were evident with the Beatles incorporating a sitar into ‘Norwegian Wood’ and his philosophy emerging in ‘Think For Yourself’. The album contained at least two classic Beatles tracks in Paul’s ‘Michelle’ and John’s ‘In My Life’. Not surprisingly both the album and single stormed to the top of the charts.
