 beatles Nov 04, 2009
I bought this for my husband he loves Beatles. I would recommend this cd to anyone who likes Beatles.
Quality of remaster is incredible Nov 03, 2009
There's nothing I can add about the songs that hasn't already been written except to say they are timeless jewels. It's hard to believe that not one of the songs on RS made it high enough to be a "1"!
So let's talk about the next most important part: the sound quality. Simply put, it is absolutely remarkable. I have the 80s release of other Beatles albums and the sound is okay (translation: marginal but tolerable for general listening). Before buying the Rubber Soul 2009 remaster, I thought "1" sounded pretty good, given that the original recordings were done on what is now prehistoric equipment. I was simply not ready for the the crisp, vibrant sound of RS 2009 release. It sounds great in the car, on the home stereo, and on the IPOD as an MP3 (ripped with EAC 0.99pb5 and Lame 3.98.2). Simply "WOW!" isn't strong enough.
I bought the Rubber Soul remaster to see if it was worth getting the others. Okay, it is and I will. I can't wait to get the rest of the collection. And if you didn't already know, this CD is in stereo even though it doesn't say so on the cover. It's based on the George Martin stereo mixes done in the 80's, which I prefer over the mono mixes.

A way to learn what's your favourite Beatles album Oct 28, 2009
The only benefit I had from buying the remastered version of Rubber Soul was to learn this is my favourite Beatles album. Looking at all the "new" Beatles cds I decided to get just one and give it a try. Why I did pick this one first? I do not know or maybe it is too long to explain, but no White Album nor Sargent Pepper's this time. For the rest I do not care about the "improvement" in sound some claim it was achieved with the remastered versions. To me it just sounds louder with enhancements of the bass all over and the vocals here and there (which by the way you can obtain by equalizing the music in your stereo or computer if you wish to do so). For example, in "You won't see me" it just sounds weird that the vocals overpower the music at some points where it did not before. Then it makes me wonder WHY MESS WITH PERFECTION? It is like if an old masterpiece gets a new blend of colours just because new technology is available and it can be done. If a work of art was done in a way, it is supposed to stay in that way, be it a paint, a sculpture, a book, or a piece of music. Now I am afraid to get dissapointed with the rest of the remastered collection. Therefore, this is it for me as far as the "new" albums. I rather stay with the Beatles music and sound as I learned to love and enjoy, instead of trying to love different versions of the same song.

 Be Careful. US Version is not the same as the UK even with remaster. Oct 25, 2009
I expected the remaster versions to be the same in UK and US, but they are not if you believe the track listings on Amazon.
So, no 'Drive My Car' for us in the US. I think I'll get the UK version. (5 Stars for UK Version !)
