"Rubber Soul" by The Beatles – ****

First released: 1965

I have to admit that I like the US version of "Rubber Soul" better than the UK version. I always felt that "Drive My Car" was wrong for this album, and "I’ve Just Seen a Face" was better suited for it. The claims that this was the first “album” in the truest sense of the word, seems to work much better with the US version. In any case, the song-writing talents of Lennon, McCartney and now Harrison have improved to a much greater point than previously shown up until this time. Even Ringo pitched in a line on "What Goes On" (on the UK version only).
