The Rubber Soul Recording Sessions | Beatles Documentary Film

[@BeatlesBible1]

Due to copyright issues, we unfortunately were forced to mute part of the "You Won't See Me" segment. 😕 KZbin is like that sometimes. Also, a mistake happened in the image for "If I Needed Someone." Instead of saying "Lennon/McCartney," I forgot to copy and paste to say "Harrison." Sorry for that. It’s finally here: the Rubber Soul sessions! Hope you all like the new fanfare. Please like and comment to help us with KZbin's algorithm. Thank you all for the support; the channel would be nowhere without the fans.

My research lead me to believe that these songs where write by ghost writers, no band can create such a great album in one month. This is a lie and a fantasy. The true is coming out!

[@aicram62]

Would love to see a short series from Ringo's version about before they became famous. It can also include the others but I've seen that many times. It could be in the style of Wonder Years. Vignettes on each of them but mostly Ringo. Could you convince Ron Howard to work on that? I'm very curious about the English Public school system. Ever since I saw the movie Melody in the early 70's

[@RustyHBriggs]

This album was transformative. When it came out, I listened to it for days and days, just taking it in. (14 years later, we played In My Life at our wedding). 1965 was an astounding year for music: electric Bob Dylan (Like A Rolling Stone); rock's great anthem, the Stones' Satisfaction; the Laurel Canyon's Byrds and Mamad and Papas. Motown! OMG, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, The Supreme, Martha and the Vandellas, the Temptations, Four Tops; Otis Redding and Wilson Picket! Beach Boys, Yardbirds... The radio blasted great music all day and night, and the artists kept inspiring each other to greater heights. Great time to be alive and young. The first concert I ever attended was The Beatles. This is my favorite Beatles album. Except for those days when Revolver is. Thanks so much for this terrific documentary. 👑

It’s peak early Beatles! I see Revolver as a transitional album that crossed the divide between early and late Beatles. Rubber Soul is the best of the early Beatles, and has some of their best songs. Great guitar tones as well. Also has a couple stinkers, but flaws create contrast that makes the good songs better

Such a good documentary, cheers. Choosing between different Beatles albums to listen to in recent times, I just let my six years old son decide, by watching his reactions. Rubber Soul won so far.

[@janerikhedberg6864]

My all time favorite album. Being ten years old, I was blown away by the lyrics and the more bluesy sound - not that I would know it, but as reconstructed afterthoughts in my teens. It's hard to pick out ONE Song, but I remember always being in love with a girl, and always having a hard time breaking up, so "I'm looking through you" have always been one of them. But this album AND Revolver will always be the peek for me - I "matured" in an early age, so to say ...

[@michaelharrington75]

The Beatles reached a height of fame no other performers have ever reached.., to a place called "The toppermost of the poppermost". John told them in 1961 that's where they were going, and that where they went. Brian Epstein said, "The Beatles will be bigger than Elvis.", and "The children of the 21st century will be listening to the Beatles." He was right about both. They pushed the boundaries of live concerts, studio recording, and how albums could be a complete piece of art. Over 60 years later their music is still being listened to, analyzed, and revered around the world. We will never see anything like the Beatles again.

54:19 Never seen this image of Paul and John (standing and singing together without instruments into one microphone) with Lennon’s hands in his pockets and Paul snapping his right fingers to the song being performed; zooming in on this photo enhances the bond between the them, an absolute gem in a treasure chest of Beatles music; thanks for showing off the brilliance of this one.

[@MrMusicbyMartin]

Rubber Soul is my favourite Beatles record for the following reasons: * It captures the band at the peak of their 1st phase, before they started wandering into novelty records and overtly experimental music; * They do not assume that the formula they adopted for Help! and previous records will work - they look to Dylan, Motown and world music and incorporate this into their own music; * You can hear them developing and grow as musicians, George and Paul in particular. George’s contributions become clearly recognisable. There’s much more piano on this record. * They begin using the studio as an instrument, with George Martin playing an increasingly important role. * Many of the songs feature John Paul and George singing beautiful harmony vocals - after 6 years together, these sound effortless and natural. The vocals are very clear in the mix and represent their signature sound. No wonder Brian Wilson was jealous.

I was 14 or 15 when this album came out. The radio station I listened to back then was a typical AM pop station that played singles. The DJ on the air at the time said he had the new Beatles album in his hand, and that he was going to play each side straight through because that's how it needed to be heard. Unheard of at the time! He put it on and as I listened I got little shivers down my neck. I knew that music would never be the same again.

There have been a lot of documentaries on The Beatles, but I believe that a documentary that would cover the time between spring 65 through summer 67 would be fantastic. Although The Beatles would be the main characters it would cover everything from music, entertainment, politics and Vietnam. Why??? Because it was the most seminal time in recent history. Just that period between the Shea stadium concert and the release of Rubber Soul. Sooo much happening in the world. All of these things are reflections and were reflected by The Beatles. An absolutely amazing time.

[@cobaltodesertico1749]

Wonderful capture and documentation of everything they did in late 1965. Beatles has always been one of my most important artists to listen and come back from time to time but i started to “relisten” everything and Rubber Soul has hit me different. It is the perfect gate between “Tour” and “Studio” Era’s. It’s becoming my favorite of all their catalogue. The dispersity of the instruments they use (From Stratocasters, Sitars, Mellotron). There’s simply a “autumm” or “late year” feeling to this album. From the intimacy of Girl and Michelle to the feeling of being left by your loving partner ,this album captures that beautifully. In my opinion, Run For Your Life it’s a mood killer for the melancholic mood this album has. To me, If I Needed Someone it’s a great closure to this album.

[@adyhartmusic]

As much as I love ALL of the Beatles albums, Rubber Soul still remains my favourite (along with Abbey Road). It’s the album where they truly matured as songwriters, doing away with the ‘yeah yeah, yeah, boy-meets-girl stuff and showing an experimental side not seen before. Oh, and they looked so damn cool in mid-65! ❤😎

This is actually one of the few Beatles albums I had on vinyl and I recall listening to it at my aunt's house in the late 1990's while they were at a football game. It was a really neat experience because I turned the volume up really loud when What Goes On came on. The bass line was just off the hook. I also think the track I'm Looking Through You Was really interesting because my actual second album of the Beatles was Anthology Part 2, and stupidly I didn't know those were the outtakes. Hearing the final version, you begin to understand how the Beatles could begin work on a song and by the next day have an entirely different piece of music all together. Finally, I think Ringo's drumming on You Won't See Me is some of his best, compared with She Said, She Said, Rain and You Never Give Me Your Money. While it's not my favorite album, it's certainly an album that I've come to appreciate over the years, if for nothing else than it's historical significance.

Hi, just started to follow your video presentations. Excellent research. Having been a subject I have looked into for a good number of years, and watched most of the main presentations, plus having read,several times, ' Memoires', other PID books and official narratives, I have no definitive answer, other than SOMETHING, has definitely gone down, especially the occulted social conditioning of society. I grew up, in Liverpool, and as a child was massively influenced by the Beatles, and still am, and I was also informed for much of my early influences as a musician, performer and songwriter myself. Trying to sift though all the evidences that are out there, coupled with the official narratives and false trails is a big, and for me, still ongoing task. Your findings help shed new light, so thanks and keep them coming. The one thing I know ,from personal experience, is, that the official narrative just doesn't hold up. Just with the songwriting area, something I do myself, I know there is no way their early songwriting credits are solely Lennon ( and or ) McCartney. As you have said in a previous video ; analysing their early work, the sophistication of that writing was beyond what would have been their personal influences. Also, their display of musical knowledge, or lack of, on many occassions plus Paul's actual admittance in an interview of them bring limited by their lack of knowledge, would strongly suggest that at the very least, those early, but musically complex, songs had a whole load of help. I look forward to watching the rest of your presentations and future ones. Thanks.
