RUBBER SOUL

Classic stuff. ' Rubber Soul' for me was the beginning of the more psychelic side to the Beatles. Overall it is very hard to fault this fine album from the opener' Drive My car' and the following ' Norwegian Wood' you knew straightaway this was not some fad band happy to slam out hundreds of hits on a monthly basis. ' Rubber Soul' is full of ironically....'Soul', tons of it. George Harrison's guitar work especially creative and Lennon and McCartney supply their normal truckload of fanfare. The Beatles influenced so many bands in their formative years but personally I believe ' Rubber Soul' was the beginning of further albums that helped shape the psychedlic progressive rock era that so many of us enjoy.'Nowhere Man' and ' Girl' are other great gems on this highly acclaimed release by the fab four.
