Capital Records 1965 Near Mint (NM) "Rubber Soul" was released on December 3, 1965 in the United Kingdom, and December 6, 1965 in the United States. This year, 1965, was a turning point for the Beatles; first with the release of their second motion picture Help! followed by Rubber Soul. With this, it seemed that the Beatles had grown up. Prior to Rubber Soul, the Beatles albums were more of a collection of singles rather than an artistic collection. In Rubber Soul we see a new era of fresh ideas, not only musically, but philosophically. At this period, the Beatles were still pressured constantly for more songs, more singles, by the record companies. It is amazing that Rubber Soul is clearly one of the greatest the Beatles produced, as the final songs for it were not written nor recorded until the middle of November 1965, just a mere eighteen days before the album hit the record store shelves.
