Product Description
The classic original Beatles studio albums have been re-mastered by a dedicated team of engineers at Abbey Road Studios in London over a four year period utilising state of the art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. The result of this painstaking process is the highest fidelity the Beatles catalogue has seen since its original release.
Within each CD's new packaging, booklets include detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief documentary film about the album. The newly produced mini-documentaries on the making of each album, directed by Bob Smeaton, are included as QuickTime files on each album. The documentaries contain archival footage, rare photographs and never-before-heard studio chat from The Beatles, offering a unique and very personal insight into the studio atmosphere.

Rank 'em how you like, Rubber Soul is an undeniable pivot point in the Fab Four's varied discography no matter where, or how, you first heard it. The album was softened up in its original 12-song American edition to jibe with the Dylan/Byrds folk-rock sound, as well as squeeze money from the Parlophone catalog. The 14-song U.K. edition--the version now available on compact disc--is a different, more dynamic, and ultimately more accomplished achievement. So many classics: "Drive My Car" and "Nowhere Man" (both omitted from the U.S. edition) merge the early combustible Beatifics to a burgeoning studio consciousness; "The Word" can be read as a pre-psych warning shot; the sitar-laden "Norwegian Wood" and the evocative "Girl" (the latter written on the last night of the sessions) stand as turning points in John Lennon's oeuvre. George finally emerges too, with the McGuinn-ish "If I Needed Someone." --Don Harrison

A timeless classic - beautiful songs and melodies -- a very crisp production - my 2nd favorite Beatles album and one of the top ten albums of all time!

This product was packaged in appearance to be an album, but turned out to be a very short documentary of the making of the album.

Quality of remaster is incredible November 3, 2009

There's nothing I can add about the songs that hasn't already been written except to say they are timeless jewels. It's hard to believe that not one of the songs on RS made it high enough to be a "1"!
So let's talk about the next most important part: the sound quality. Simply put, it is absolutely remarkable. I have the 80s release of other Beatles albums and the sound is okay (translation: marginal but tolerable for general listening). Before buying the Rubber Soul 2009 remaster, I thought "1" sounded pretty good, given that the original recordings were done on what is now prehistoric equipment. I was simply not ready for the the crisp, vibrant sound of RS 2009 release. It sounds great in the car, on the home stereo, and on the IPOD as an MP3 (ripped with EAC 0.99pb5 and Lame 3.98.2). Simply "WOW!" isn't strong enough.
I bought the Rubber Soul remaster to see if it was worth getting the others. Okay, it is and I will. I can't wait to get the rest of the collection. And if you didn't already know, this CD is in stereo even though it doesn't say so on the cover. It's based on the George Martin stereo mixes done in the 80's, which I prefer over the mono mixes.
A way to learn what's your favourite Beatles album October 28, 2009

The only benefit I had from buying the remastered version of Rubber Soul was to learn this is my favourite Beatles album. Looking at all the "new" Beatles cds I decided to get just one and give it a try. Why I did pick this one first? I do not know or maybe it is too long to explain, but no White Album nor Sargent Pepper's this time. For the rest I do not care about the "improvement" in sound some claim it was achieved with the remastered versions. To me it just sounds louder with enhancements of the bass all over and the vocals here and there (which by the way you can obtain by equalizing the music in your stereo or computer if you wish to do so). For example, in "You won't see me" it just sounds weird that the vocals overpower the music at some points where it did not before. Then it makes me wonder WHY MESS WITH PERFECTION? It is like if an old masterpiece gets a new blend of colours just because new technology is available and it can be done. If a work of art was done in a way, it is supposed to stay in that way, be it a paint, a sculpture, a book, or a piece of music. Now I am afraid to get dissapointed with the rest of the remastered collection. Therefore, this is it for me as far as the "new" albums. I rather stay with the Beatles music and sound as I learned to love and enjoy, instead of trying to love different versions of the same song.
