Rubber Soul is the sixth studio album by The Beatles, originally released on December 3, 1965. Widely regarded as a turning point in the band's artistic development, the album combines memorable pop melodies with folk-rock influences, sophisticated arrangements and increasingly personal songwriting.
This 2026 Special Edition features a brand-new stereo mix created by Giles Martin and Sam Okell, sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes. The new mix brings renewed clarity and definition to the vocals, instruments and intricate arrangements while preserving the character of the original recordings. 

Pressed on 180-gram black vinyl and half-speed mastered, this edition offers a carefully prepared vinyl presentation of one of the most important albums in popular music. The record is housed in a spined sleeve with a poly-lined inner bag and was released on October 2, 2026. 

Featuring timeless songs such as Drive My Car, Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown), Nowhere Man, Michelle, Girl and In My Life, Rubber Soul captures The Beatles at a remarkable creative crossroads. Its blend of folk, rock, soul and experimental studio techniques helped shape the direction of modern album-oriented popular music.

This single-LP edition contains all 14 tracks from the original UK album, presented in the new stereo mix. An essential addition to any Beatles vinyl collection.
