Description
THE BEATLES Rubber Soul Japan Obi VERY RARE Limited MONO Odeon Original Limited Edition
This is a very rare 1986 Japanese LIMITED EDITION, on translucent RED Vinyl, complete with four page lyric insert and OBI.
- Anniversary edition
- OBI: perfect intact red obi-strip of the wide wrap-around style from the '20 Years Ago' series in MINT condition.
- RED VINYL in superb, near MINT condition.
- MONO LP
- Picture sleeve
- Four page lyric insert
- Fourteen tracks.
It was their sixth studio album in 1965, and markedly more sophisticated.
This Anniversary edition was a Japan only release, as a SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION ALBUM to commemorate their first and only Japanese tour in 1966. (THE BEATLES performed five Rock Concerts there in June/July 1966). Arguably one of the best albums of all time and a worthy choice for the anniversary reprise. Opening with a cute, cheeky song, 'Drive My Car', with Ringo playing the cowbell.
Ringo maintains spectacular rhythm, keeping the beat spot on brilliantly, throughout the Album.
The widely popular love ballad 'Michelle' sung by Paul with a guitar solo played by George Harrison, was a number one hit for the Beatles in Belgium, France, Norway, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand.
An avant-garde touch is Harrison's imaginative addition of the sitar to 'Norwegian Wood'.
This was the first appearance of this exotic Indian string instrument on a Beatles Album.
Fourteen songs - all new and original material for the mid sixties.
