Rubber Soul

December 3, 1965   Parlophone Records

Noted by John as the beginning of the Beatles "self-conscious" period, Rubber Soul marked the transition of the band's writing from girl/boy love songs to more diverse subjects, such as "The Word" and "Nowhere Man". The album also marked the first time the band began to manipulate tapes to achieve a new or different effect, as well as use new instruments such as the sitar. Recorded in four weeks.
