Description
Artist: THE BEATLES
Title: “Rubber Soul”
Label: CAPITOL. Stereo pressing. Catalog number is ST-2442.
Based on all cover details and the weight of this copy, we believe this to be a lime green “target” label pressing produced from approx 1969-1971. The weight of the factory-sealed copy for sale in this listing is 8.9 oz. A lime green label copy (without shrink wrap) is 8.7 oz. For comparison purposes, the black label first pressing we tested weighed 9.2 oz (without shrink wrap.)
Condition:
Album is STILL SEALED in original factory shrink wrap. Shrink wrap is clean and glossy, and fully intact. There are 2 breather holes in the shrink wrap on the reverse. No writing, stickers or cutout indications. So rare to find this one in unplayed, factory sealed condition after all these years. This is a beauty - one for the archives!

Review:
“While the Beatles still largely stuck to love songs on Rubber Soul, the lyrics represented a quantum leap in terms of thoughtfulness, maturity, and complex ambiguities. Musically, too, it was a substantial leap forward, with intricate folk-rock arrangements that reflected the increasing influence of Dylan and the Byrds. The group and George Martin were also beginning to expand the conventional instrumental parameters of the rock group, using a sitar on "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)," Greek-like guitar lines on "Michelle" and "Girl," fuzz bass on "Think for Yourself," and a piano made to sound like a harpsichord on the instrumental break of "In My Life." While John and Paul were beginning to carve separate songwriting identities at this point, the album is full of great tunes, from "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" and "Michelle" to "Girl," "I'm Looking Through You," "You Won't See Me," "Drive My Car," and "Nowhere Man" (the last of which was the first Beatle song to move beyond romantic themes entirely). George Harrison was also developing into a fine songwriter with his two contributions, "Think for Yourself" and the Byrds-ish "If I Needed Someone."”
