Author George Case, writing in his book Out of Our Heads, identifies Rubber Soul as "the authentic beginning of the psychedelic era". [27] Music journalist Mark Ellen similarly credits the album with having "sow[ed] the seeds of psychedelia", [333] while Christgau says that "psychedelia starts here." [340] [nb 26] Writing in The Sydney Morning Herald in July 1966, Lillian Roxon reported on the new trend for psychedelia-themed clubs and events in the US and said that Rubber Soul was "the classic psychedelic album now played at all the psychedelic discotheques". She attributed pop's recent embrace of psychedelia and "many of the strange new sounds now in records" to the LP's influence. [341] Nyman, Jake (2005).

Rubber Soul marked a stark turning point for The Beatles, a time in which they rejuvenated themselves from the collective face of youthful innocence and metamorphosed into a nuanced, three-dimensional identity. Not only was the album a dramatic shift sonically from their prior output, furthermore, the band’s aesthetic also witnessed a studious facelift. The artwork of their sixth studio album made it abundantly clear that The Beatles were no longer the saintly figures of pop music, and they wanted everybody to know about their complex new image.

Capitol Records succeeded in having Rubber Soul be mostly an acoustic album to fit the trend, but in doing so, they left off three really strong songs…”Nowhere Man”, “Drive My Car”, and “If I Needed Someone”, which hurts the overall impression of the quality of the album with Americans (even though it was extremely popular as it was). Surprisingly, the American version of Rubber Soul included no singles at all. That did have the positive effect of the album being thought of as an artistic statement, rather than just a collection of songs. While on tour, The Beatles had interacted with Bob Dylan, The Byrds, and other American artists. Dylan introduced them to marijuana and his lyrics. Both would expand The Beatles thinking and affect Rubber Soul. John Lennon was the most prolific. He was the lead writer on 9 songs…including “Norwegian Wood”, “In My Life”, “Day Tripper”, “Girl”, and “Nowhere Man”…which John said just came to him all at once.

The song appeared on the Anthology 2 outtakes compilation, edited down to under three minutes from its original length of 6:36. [51] Turner, Steve (2016). Beatles '66: The Revolutionary Year.

Retrieved 24 September 2020.Most of the songs on Rubber Soul were composed soon after the Beatles' return to London following their August 1965 North American tour. [4] The album reflects the influence of their month in America. [5] Aside from setting a new attendance record when they played to over 55,000 at Shea Stadium on 15 August, the tour allowed the band to meet with Bob Dylan in New York and their longtime hero Elvis Presley in Los Angeles. [6] Although the Beatles had released their album Help! that same month, the requirement for a new album in time for Christmas was in keeping with the schedule established with EMI in 1963 by Brian Epstein, the group's manager, [7] and George Martin, their record producer. [8] Rubber Soul is a great album, but it might actually be a little under-appreciated. These days, Sgt. Pepper and Revolver (and more recently Abbey Road) get most of the praise, and a lot of fans think Rubber Soul should be right there with them. According to Beatles biographer Nicholas Schaffner, Freeman's cover photo was viewed as "daringly surreal" and led some fans to write to the band's official fanzine, Beatles Monthly, alarmed that the image "made their heroes look like corpses". [217] In her study of the Beatles' contemporary audience, sociologist Candy Leonard writes that some young listeners were challenged by the band's new musical direction, but "With Rubber Soul, the Beatles came to occupy a role in fans' lives and a place in their psyches that was different from any previous fan–performer relationship." [241] Singer-songwriter Elvis Costello, who was an eleven-year-old fan at the time, [9] later recalled thinking that the band had "lost their minds". He added: "I didn't understand a word, I didn't think it was any good, and then six weeks later you couldn't live without the record. And that's good – that's when you trust the people who make music to take you somewhere you haven't been before."
