- The Beatles 6th album Rubber Soul released at the end of 1965, saw the band start to really move away from their previous rock n roll band set up and experiment with new instruments, effects and more mature subject matter.
This is the story of how it was recorded and the techniques and equipment used.

Drive My Car was not Paul's first lead on a Beatles song. He played lead on three Help! tracks: Ticket To Ride, The Night Before, Another Girl.
Thought so.
Beat me to it
Paul and George both played lead guitar on the Night Before
I was gonna watch this vid, but if you’re saying this guy can’t get his facts straight, I might skip it

When I bought the mono version of the album I was blown away. Its like listening to a whole new album, with the rhythm section locked in as it should be. The mix and the overall sound of the mono is fantastic.
My all time favorite album. Seriously Norwegian Wood, Nowhere Man, Michelle, In My Life are just amazing by themselves but to have them on one album is incredible.
Me too
My favorite, too. White Album also up there.
One of the seminal records to come out. Terrific research and presentation on the video.
Thank you! it's one of my favourites so it was a real pleasure to do.
Essentially for myself, I digested the whole Beatles discography (other thsn *Let It Be)* when I was seven and Apple Records redistributed their whole catalog on compact disc. Inside of a year, I heard both editions of *Rubber Soul,* the original Capitol Records format from 1965 and the EMI format that was distributed on CD. (I can recall also listening to *Help!* and wondering what "I've Just Seen A Face" was doing there.) It took me a short extension of time to learn all the different levels of history that *Rubber Soul* represented for the Beatles and their evolution as musicians. I would not have considered likening it to *Revolver,* an album I considered vastly different, so it was really interesting when The Beatles Anthology came out in 1995 to hear George )Harrison) thinking those two records were like Volume 1 and Volume 2 in his mind.
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) was the first track Paul used the Rickenbacker on. (source: The Beatles Recording Reference Manual: Volume 2)
Thanks for the info on that.
I want my. I want my. I want my MMO. Another great one MMO, and I truly appreciate the close ups of the vintage gear.
🙂Cheers! Really glad you appreciate the close ups, I like to try and get them in when I can.
The like the Euro version of this album better than what we got in the states. In the states we got an album called "Yesterday and Today" which included material cut from the "real" Rubber Soul.
Paul's Ric was called Model RM 1999. Specially made for the British market.
Initially we already have some misinformation. The Beatles did not go into this recording with "more time" as the narrator suggests. On the contrary, having been given absolutely no time for preparation, they were cast into the studio after several years of nonstop touring, movie making, and record making, and told they had two months to record a new record. This all came coincidentally just as they had exhausted their cache of early originals and the many covers worked out in Hamburg and the early Cavern Club days. The band had been wrung ragged for several years and were exhausted. This is when any other band in history would and should have either put out a flop, or at least an average ho hum offering, which makes Rubber Soul an even more impressive collection. A masterpiece if you ask me, and easily my favourite album by the Lads.
Love your work sir.
Thank you!
I prefer the capitol version of Rubber Soul in Mono. I find that it's much more cohesive. I've Just Seen A Face makes for a great and upbeat opening track. That flows into Norwegian Wood, setting the mood nicely. Not to mention, I think Michelle, It's Only Love followed by Girl is the best sequencing of songs on any Beatles album.
7:49 Cue the big arguing between the accidental and (frankly superior) of the American version of Rubber Soul resulting in that Folk-Rock mania vs Beatle's vision which included the horrible What Goes On. (I've NEVER heard anyone who had a kind word for that song!) BUT: They weren't "angling to push for a folk rock sound"
Luv the channel ! Thanxs !
Thank you! 🙏
Enjoyed that!
Thank you very much sir
Thank you!
Love it
Thank you!
Great job documenting my favorite Beatles album! I know it can be difficult to choose what to talk about as there is such a wealth of information available on the recording of the Beatles, but you did a really good job getting all of the most important information in. I eagerly anticipate Revolver and Sgt. Peppers as those are my favorites from a production perspective although I know it will be even more difficult to get all the necessary information included.
Thank you! I plan to do Sgt Pepper, definitely lots to get into there. Revolver was one of the first ones I did, here it is, ua-cam.com/video/cqc71mY0kw4/v-deo.htmlsi=DHyPyx68WXBKTdmv
@@mixingmasteringonline Oh, of course how could I forget I've seen that! It must have been before I read George Martin and Geoff Emerick's books, so it didn't stick. Great job as always.
Cheers!
Without George Martin and his crew it would have been a different sounding record.
But it wasn’t
Perhaps the craziest jump in songwriting maturity in the shortest amount of time, if you consider Help! had come out only a few months before these recordings, and a few months later they would record Tomorrow Never Knows.
Yeah, absolutely unbelievable progression artistically and very brave commercially as well.
Awesome!
Cheers Jenson!
Very thorough and entertaining, but I wish you would slow down a bit. I had to slow playback speed to 75% in order to enjoy the photos and descriptions.
Thank you, and thanks also for the feedback, much appreciated!
excellent work! interesting that on Think For Yourself, paul also recorded a "normal" non-fuzz bass line on the opposite side of the mix, perhaps realizing the fuzz bass line wasn't enough to carry the bottom, which was crucial in those days of mediocre, mostly mid-fidelity audio systems. chris squire of yes, who had an notoriously punchy, middish sound, used the Rickenbacker effectively, with and without fuzz. but i think paul preferred the more bottomy hofner for bass, which had punch and boom.
Thank you! You’re right, it would have sounded too light without a second bass track to fill in the list low end.
3:45 Grimwoods, The Music People , Maidstone at Whitstable
Great content
Thank you!
George is pictured with the wrong Rick 360. He used his second one (with rounded edges). Also, I don’t think there is any Hofner bass on the album
Love your videos! Can you make one about Raw Power by The Stooges?
Thank you! Thats an interesting one, I'll definitely look into it, cheers!
Does Bob Dylan still work for international com you nism?
Paul walked out at one point of the sessions but I’ve never been able to find out what the fight was about. Anyone?
I didn’t know about that, would be interesting to find out..
@@mixingmasteringonline am hoping Mark Lewisohn covers it in his next chapter of his Beatles biography
I think this is the best Beatles album. I like it better than Revolver and much better than Sergeant Pepper's.
Not Mc-GIN, McGwinn (rhymes with twin).
How did we get from this to Billy Eyelash and Cardi B?
anyone know the city in the photo at the 4:10 mark?
The photo label was Las Vegas.
@@mixingmasteringonline thank you
The Beatles recorded this album and no else period. I’m so tired of the BS conspiracies of the Beatles. No proof or real evidence. And no one ever has come forward with valid proof. The Beatles were the hardest working musicians of that part of the 60s. People just making money on bogus claims. A great progression in their songwriting Paul loved being in the studio all the time and he pushed the boys to write and record constantly!😃
Roger McGinn. 😂
Sage of Quay/ Mike Williams has performed an extensive analysis about teh making of Rubber Souls jumping at the conclusion that the official narrative put forward an impossible and fake story. Simply put there was not enough time starting in October 1965 in order to write, arrange, reharse, record 16 new songs followed by the additional time required for the industrial processing (vinil pressing, sleeve and label printing etc.) in order to ensure that the album was out right before Christmas. Mike Williams believes this is a smoking gun indicating that the Beatles did not write all their music and a powerful organization was behind them
Was it surely the first time Paul took the lead on guitar? Didn’t he play solo for Another Girl, and some bits in Ticket To Ride?
Apparently so, I was surprised how much lead he played.
