Starting with the 50th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Apple have gifted us deluxe boxed sets of the White Album, Abbey Road, Let It Be and most recently Revolver. Therefore it was assumed as 2025 marks the 60th anniversary of both Help! and Rubber Soul. That this year Beatles fan would gift one or both of these titles the super deluxe treatment.
But this was not to be. Instead Apple decided to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Anthology. A worthy release, but not the deep dive into the vault we fans were expecting.
In this weeks episode we take a deep dive into both Help1 and Rubber Soul and ask the question, is Rubber Soul The Beatles first masterpiece?.
