{"product_id":"4589767514525","title":"THE BEATLES RUBBER SOUL Sessions Japan Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description The mid-period masterpiece \"Rubber Soul\" sessions, upgraded and expanded edition! Thoroughly covers alternate versions, alternate mixes, outtakes and related songs, including the best stereo mix currently available that couldn't be fully covered by the current stereo mix. [First-press limited edition tall case size digipak specification] [Detailed Japanese commentary booklet\/postcard included] Good news for fans who have been troubled since 2009 by the current stereo mix with vocals biased to the right! Vocals are in the center, instruments are on the left and right. All songs from the album + single tracks are included in the best stereo alternate mix currently available with the positioning that should have been there. Furthermore, it is the ultimate collection that follows the recording sessions from the first day on October 12th to the last day, with outtakes and alternate versions of the sound for each day. In 1965, after successfully completing a massive stadium tour including Shea Stadium, The Beatles holed up in Abbey Road Studios and completed the masterpiece \"Rubber Soul\" in just one month. They faced the last minute with no stock of new songs. However, the environment that allowed them to concentrate solely on studio work awakened their creative power. Masterpiece after masterpiece was born. Having realized the significance of being able to immerse themselves in the recording process, the Beatles subsequently became more interested in studio work than live performances. As you know, when the entire Beatles catalog was released on CD in 1987, George Martin newly remixed \"Rubber Soul\" in stereo, but he paid \"a little respect\" to the original 1965 stereo version, so he only shifted the vocals from the right slightly towards the center, which is a fatal flaw in today's world. In songs like \"Words of Love,\" the vocals that should be prominently centered are somehow timidly positioned to the right. The a cappella at the beginning of \"I'm Nobody Going to Listen,\" and John's voice at the beginning of \"Girl,\" starting with \"Is There Anybody Going to Listen,\" should be centered and ringing out as the main character. Now, \"Rubber Soul\" is included here in a stereo mix with the positioning of all tracks corrected, finally fulfilling the wishes of fans. You'll surely be satisfied with the excellent sound quality. Two singles from the same period are also included. The session recordings, recorded by date, are valuable recordings that offer a glimpse into the Beatles' music production process. The interlude of \"In My Life,\" played by George Martin, is always a topic of discussion when talking about this song, but it's also surprising to hear the organ solo he first tried and the baroque-style piano played at a slower tape speed on their own. This work thoroughly covers the version of \"Rubber Soul\" that marked a turning point, alternate mixes, outtakes, and related songs. As an expanded version of the popular \"Rubber Soul Sessions,\" the first edition comes in a DVD tall case-sized digipak 2CD. Released by Eternal Grooves in a DVD-sized digipak 2CD.
