The Beatles sixth official album release.
The first Beatles album, to include all four as composers, and have no cover versions.
And the last time that The Beatles would release two albums of new material in one year.
The title came from an expression that black musicians were using to describe The Rolling Stones, which Paul then parodied from the original "Plastic Soul" to "Rubber Soul".
It should also be noted that during the sessions for this album, on 4th November 1965, The Beatles recorded another track for the album (with 2 takes). It was an instrumental that was never returned to, nor remixed ... "12-Bar Original".
The cover was the first to NOT have The Beatles name on the front. The cover photography is again by Robert Freeman, taken in John Lennon's garden in Weybridge, and was Freeman's last involvement in their covers.
The album was also part of "The Beatles Collection" 13 album box set (see Beatles Collection).
On 30th April 1987 this album had it's first release on C.D. which was published in stereo, with a catalogue number of CDP 7 46440 2
