The Beatles - Rubber Soul Deluxe Edition

[Vince Evert]

At Last !!!

The Beatles best album, well it is for me, will be getting the deluxe treatment in October.


Here's the details.

 

[Vince Evert]

This 4CD Special Edition Super Deluxe Box Set includes the new stereo mix, a disc of the 28-track collection of Sessions recordings that includes early versions of songs that deepen and expand the story of the album, as well as the non-album single, ‘Day Tripper’ and ‘We Can Work It Out’, the original mono album, and the original Capitol US album. Each disc sits in an individual album wallet within a 12” gatefold disc holder sleeve, alongside an 88-page hardback book with a John Lennon foreword, introduction by Paul McCartney, photos, in-depth album background and track notes, all housed in a 12” slipcase.

New mix by Giles Martin and Sam Okell.
