Looking deeper into the year there’s always certain artists where you just know you are going to get something, not matter what. Top of that list is The Fab Four from whom we’ve had a major box set every year since 2017 (except 2020, due to COVID). The Beatles Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys described Rubber Soul as "the first album I listened to where every song was a gas" and planned his band's next project, Pet Sounds, as an attempt to surpass it. [317] Rubber Soul similarly inspired Pete Townshend of the Who and the Kinks' Ray Davies, [318] as well as Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, who issued their first album of all-original material, Aftermath, in April 1966. [314] The album was also an influence on Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder [238] and the Byrds. [9] John Cale recalled that Rubber Soul was an inspiration as he and Lou Reed developed their band the Velvet Underground. He said it was the first time "you were forced to deal with them as something other than a flash in the pan" and especially admired Harrison's introduction of Indian sounds. [319] The Who’s Quadrophenia is 50 in 2023 but it’s 1971’s Who’s Next that will be reissued this year (there was a super deluxe of Quadrophenia in 2011, of course). We know about the Who’s Next box because Pete Townshend told us even if the original plan was for a release last year. It It’s going to be a very big box and a very big deal; Steven Wilson has created a Dolby Atmos Mix which will be something to look forward to. a b "Rubber Soul" > "Chart Facts".

Perhaps due to manufacturing capacity issues last year, January 2023 has some fairly big reissues/releases that were likely originally planned for 2022 but just got bumped. These include Volume 17 of Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series called Fragments: Time Out of Mind Sessions 1996-1997, the coloured vinyl box set reissue of The Rolling Stones in Mono and Elvis On Tour. According to music journalist Rob Sheffield, the lyrics are so cryptic that the listener is left wondering: "does he light up a joint at the end or burn the girl's house down?" [119]

Lennon recalled that Rubber Soul was the first album over which the Beatles took control in the studio and made demands rather than accept standard recording practices. [60] According to Riley, the album reflects "a new affection for recording" over live performance. [61] Author Philip Norman similarly writes that, with the Beatles increasingly drawn towards EMI's large cache of "exotic" musical instruments, combined with their readiness to incorporate "every possible resource of the studio itself" and Martin's skills as a classical arranger, "Implicitly, from the very start, this [music] was not stuff intended to be played live on stage."

Lennon recalled that " Nowhere Man" came to him fully formed one night at his home in Surrey, [129] after he had struggled to write anything for several hours. [116] [130] The song reflects the existential concerns raised by his experiences with LSD, and, like " I'm a Loser" and " Help!", his self-loathing [131] during a time he later called his "fat Elvis period". [132] It was the first Beatles song to completely avoid boy–girl relationships, [113] [133] and through Lennon conveying his feelings of inadequacy in the third person, [134] the first example of a literary character in the Beatles' work. [135] Riley views the message as a precursor to the "I'd love to turn you on" theme of " A Day in the Life" and, aided by the band's performance, optimistic in tone as Lennon "sings for the unsung, the people who have shut themselves off from life". [136]

One way to predict reissue activity is to consult the ‘crystal ball’ of anniversaries. Band on the Run is of course not the only album celebrating 50 this year although that significant birthday doesn’t always guarantee a reissue. Pink Floyd’s classic The Dark Side of the Moon reaches its half-century although there will definitely be a physical box set, with a new Atmos Mix, for that particular title. In 2000, Rubber Soul was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, [250] an award bestowed by the American Recording Academy "to honor recordings of lasting qualitative or historical significance that are at least 25 years old". [365] The album has been the subject of multi-artist tribute albums such as This Bird Has Flown and Rubber Folk. [204] Writing in December 2015, Ilan Mochari of Inc. magazine commented on the unusual aspect of a pop album's 50th anniversary being celebrated, and added: "Over the next several years, you can bet you'll read about the 50th anniversary of many other albums – thematic volumes composed by bands or songwriters in the tradition Rubber Soul established. All of which is to say: Rubber Soul, the Beatles' sixth studio album, was the record that launched a thousand ships." [342] Compact disc reissues [ edit ] Rolling Stone staff (December 2014).
