[First-press limited edition deluxe paper jacket triple gatefold sleeve 3-CD set / with original liner notes and obi strip] THE BEATLES / RUBBER SOUL : SESSIONS MULTITRACK NEW REMIX ALBUM & THE STUDIO RECORDING SESSIONS [3CD] BMI=BEAT MASTERS INTERNATIONAL BMI010SP (CD1/2/3) [THE ALTERNATE ALBUM COLLECTION] The "Alternate Album Collection" series is an overseas original new edit that thoroughly pursues Beatles original album-related sound sources based on the latest updates. A new reference collection that carefully selects a wide variety of interesting Beatles sound sources, from newly discovered previously unreleased tracks to original tracks. From the latest multi-track remixes to unreleased studio sessions and various versions, this collector's edition series meticulously re-examines and reconstructs numerous previously unreleased and unearthed recordings, focusing on sound quality and editing. It thoroughly pursues "alternative" recordings that cannot be heard through the limited publicly released material, resulting in a highly anticipated collection of newly edited tracks. Released in the UK on December 3, 1965, this is the Beatles' sixth official original album. The double A-side single "We Can Work It Out / Day Tripper," not included on the album, was released simultaneously and both reached number one on the UK charts. The album title originates from the slang term "plastic soul," implying that their music was not authentic compared to Black music. The North American version, "Rubber Soul," released by Capitol Records, features unique track selections and editing, as was the case with the UK album "Help!" The album "Yesterday and Today" includes four additional tracks: "Yume no Hito" and "It's Only Love" from the original "Yume no Hito," as well as "Drive My Car," "Hitoribocchi no Aitsu," "Koi wo Suru Nara," and "Kieta Koi." It's a "folk-rock album" with a different feel from the UK version. It also uses a different master than the UK version, resulting in the so-called "false start" at the beginning of "Kimi wa Izukoe" and a different mix of "Ai no Kotoba." The album "Rubber Soul" is considered the band's first significant artistic achievement, greatly influencing the music scene at the time and pioneering the possibilities of pop music by broadening the range of lyrics and music. It is also highly regarded as the origin of later psychedelic and progressive rock, and served as a catalyst for a broad shift in direction from single-centered music to album production that consistently included high-quality songs. For the Beatles, this album marked a turning point, a significant artistic leap and evolution in recording techniques, as they truly took the lead. The introduction of new instruments such as the sitar, harmonium, and fuzz bass enriched their expressiveness and arrangements, making it a crucial album that evolved from their early Merseybeat sound to that of *Revolver* and *Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band*. As part of the "Alternate Album Collection" series, *Rubber Soul* is released in two editions: *Rubber Soul: Sessions* and *Rubber Soul: Versions*, both as 3-CD sets. *Rubber Soul: Sessions* includes 30 tracks from the "Multitrack New Remix Album" and 60 tracks from "The Studio Recording Sessions" on 3 CDs. DISC1: MULTITRACK NEW REMIX ALBUM + SINGLES + INSTRUMENTALS This disc features all 14 tracks from the original album, newly edited multitrack versions, two singles not included on the album, and instrumental versions of all the album tracks. The first 14 tracks feature new stereo remixes using AI technology to separate vocals and choruses, and reconstruct the multitracks of each instrument. These new mixes differ from previous official stereo mixes and remastered versions, notably clearly separating the lead vocals and chorus, and providing a clearer sound image for each instrument. The placement of guitars and drums is also different, making the difference in sound clearly discernible. In addition to the original 1960s stereo, this disc includes new remixes by George Martin, making their CD debut, and many other remastered and remixed versions, including newly updated stereo remixes that are making their first appearance. The instrumental section in the second half focuses on the Beatles' performance itself on this album. It's not simply the original with the vocals removed; the balance of each instrument and the stereo separation have been newly edited from the multi-track recordings, resulting in a truly original instrumental album. DISC2: THE STUDIO RECORDING SESSIONS 1 DISC3: THE STUDIO RECORDING SESSIONS 2 This disc contains studio session recordings tracing the album's production process from October 12th to November 1965, presented almost chronologically. It includes previously unreleased session recordings and those not included in official releases. In addition to previously released and official recordings, the latest updated editing improves sound quality, and many previously mono-only tracks are now presented in stereo for the first time. The tracks included in this release are the latest updated and continuously evolving demixes. They're not simply vocals and instruments separated; the vocals themselves are individually extracted, and overdubbed choruses and instruments are also individually separated, resulting in stereo remixes from multi-track sources. Iconic choral work in songs like "Nowhere Man," "In My Life," "If I Could Fall in Love," "Words of Love," "Think for Yourself," "You Want to See Me," and "Wait" features individually separated three-part harmonies by John, Paul, and George, or mixes of John's vocals alone or Paul's vocals alone, creating entirely new and unprecedented sound. While such extracted tracks have often been mono in the past, these are noteworthy original stereo remixes with different editing and mixing. Both in terms of the number of tracks and content, this is the best compilation of the latest updated tracks. *This is part of the "Rubber Soul/Alternate Album Collection," an original compilation series from the "BMI (Beat Masters Int.)" label, produced by an overseas production team.
