#REVERB LP HANDPICKED ALBUMS FEATURING MOVIE#

I’m saying how I’d just read about an old bloke in the States who said, ‘ Mick Jagger, man. I’ve heard some out-takes of us doing ‘ I’m Down’ (from June 14th, 1965) and at the front of it I’m chatting on about Mick. “I think the title ‘Rubber Soul’ came from a comment an old blues guy had said of Jagger. Paul himself, however, fully explains how the title came about. “That was Paul’s title,” John Lennon said many years later, adding, “It was like ‘ Yer Blues,’ I suppose, meaning English soul…just a pun.” Barry Miles, co-author of Paul McCartney’s book “Many Years From Now,” claims it “was a reference to rubber-soled shoes as well as soul music.” Hints at an explanation of where “Rubber Soul” came from can be found from different sources. During an interview on November 1st, 1965, Paul stated concerning the album, “the title of which could be ‘ It’s The Bloody Beatles Again!” or ‘ Eight Feet Away.’” But what exactly is a “rubber soul?”Īlmost three weeks into recording the album, they still hadn’t decided on a title.

Instead of using a song title, a movie title or a cute catch phrase (like “With The Beatles” or “Beatles For Sale”), they came up with something unique. Never before had a Beatles album title raised so many eyebrows. “Some of the material on…the 1965 ‘Rubber Soul’ album was just brilliant what was happening elsewhere was nothing like it.” “I felt we were progressing in leaps and bounds, musically,” remembers Ringo Starr. W ith confidence high and only a month to record the album, they proved themselves up to the task. Therefore, they didn’t delve back into their old Cavern repertoire to resurrect some old favorites as they had on last year’s “Beatles For Sale” album. This time around, though, The Beatles decided to only feature original material, a policy they kept to throughout the rest of their career (with the slight exception of “ Maggie Mae” on the “ Let It Be” album). They fulfilled this agreement for the first two years of their contract, but since their first album for 1965, the soundtrack to their motion picture “ Help!,” hadn't been released until August of that year, they felt extremely rushed.Īfter their second American tour was completed on August 31st of that year, they worked hard to scrape together enough new material to fill the required fourteen tracks for their sixth British album as well as two additional songs for a year-end single.

The strict policy The Beatles had followed since their signing with EMI’s Parlophone label was to produce two albums per year, notwithstanding their hectic schedule otherwise.
