This copy comes with the very rarely found 'uncut' (no hole in middle) Emitex liner sleeve , which states the usual "Use Emitex cleaning cloth to preserve your record.......etc" print, but also states 'Patents Applied For' print on bottom left hand corner............. 'The 'Patents Applied For' plain white liner sleeves were introduced towards the end of 1965.........only a few with the print 'Use Emitex' AND 'Patents Applied For' were manufactured...........and only a few used on early copies of Rubber Soul............................

Notes: The Beatles: George Harrison (vocals, guitar, sitar); John Lennon (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Paul McCartney (vocals, guitar, piano, bass); Ringo Starr (vocals, organ, drums). Additional personnel: George Martin (piano); Mal Evans (organ). Though some might argue that the Beatles' unprecedented evolution from British Invasion pin-ups to pop music visionaries began with BEATLES FOR SALE, RUBBER SOUL is without a doubt the first album to definitively put the Fab Four in the running for Greatest Band Ever. Virtually every aspect of the Liverpool quartet's incredibly diverse sound is in evidence here: the dark, irony-filled Dylanism ("Norwegian Wood," "Nowhere Man"), pop perfection ("In My Life"), the passion for classic tin pan alley balladry ("Girl," "Michelle"), and the love of good 'ol rock & roll music ("Drive My Car"). Peppered with nasty fuzz bass, exotic sitar, cartoonishly sped-up piano that sounds like harpsichord, and elements of country, Motown, and classical music, the album reveals a creative scope and willingness to experiment so revolutionary it can now only be termed "Beatlesque."
