In 2013, Rubber Soul was certified platinum by the BPI for UK sales since 1994.Rubber Bandits throws 1-4 players into a wild party brawler to steal, smash, and scavenge as much cash as you can! Prepare for hilarious physics-based combat with wacky weapons and a huge lineup of criminal characters. The album was certified 6× platinum by the RIAA in 1997, indicating shipments of at least six million copies in the US. In 2000, it was voted at number 34 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's book All Time Top 1000 Albums. Among its many appearances on critics' best-album lists, Rolling Stone ranked it fifth on the magazine's 2012 list " The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". It has been recognised by music critics as an album that opened up the possibilities of pop music in terms of lyrical and musical scope, and as a key work in the creation of styles such as psychedelia and progressive rock. Rubber Soul was highly influential on the Beatles' peers, leading to a widespread focus away from singles and onto creating albums of consistently high-quality songs. The four songs omitted by Capitol, including the February 1966 single " Nowhere Man", later appeared on the North American release Yesterday and Today. The project marked a progression in the band's treatment of the album format as an artistic platform, an approach they continued to develop with Revolver and Sgt. The songs demonstrate the Beatles' increasing maturity as lyricists, and in their incorporation of brighter guitar tones and new instrumentation such as sitar, harmonium and fuzz bass, the group striving for more expressive sounds and arrangements for their music. After A Hard Day's Night in 1964, it was the second Beatles LP to contain only original material. The title derives from the colloquialism " plastic soul" and was the Beatles' way of acknowledging their lack of authenticity compared to the African-American soul artists they admired. Often referred to as a folk rock album, particularly in its Capitol configuration, Rubber Soul incorporates a mix of pop, soul and folk musical styles. For the first time in their career, the band were able to record an album free of concert, radio or film commitments. The recording sessions took place in London over a four-week period beginning in October 1965. Rubber Soul met with a highly favourable critical response and topped sales charts in Britain and the United States for several weeks.
The original North American release, issued by Capitol Records, contains ten of the fourteen songs and two tracks withheld from the band's Help! album.
It was released on 3 December 1965 in the United Kingdom, on EMI's Parlophone label, accompanied by the non-album double A-side single " Day Tripper" / " We Can Work It Out". Rubber Soul is the sixth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles.
