The Beatles’ ‘Rubber Soul’ Gets Box Set Treatment

The Beatles have a brand new box set on the way, this one focusing on their 1965 album, Rubber Soul. It will be released Oct. 2.

Not only will it include new stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes of the album — taken directly from the original four-track master tapes — the super deluxe edition culls from 24 early session recordings, containing 20 previously unreleased takes and three previously unreleased home demos. There are early versions of "Day Tripper," "We Can Work It Out" and a previously unheard John Lennon song outline called "Little Girl."

The 4CD and 5LP super deluxe editions also come with an 88-page hardbound book featuring an introduction by Paul McCartney, plus a foreword compiled from Lennon's own words.

Fans will be able to shop from 1CD and 1LP editions, 2CD and 2LP special editions, and the aforementioned 4CD and 5LP super deluxe editions. The set also comes on on Blu-ray, featuring the new Dolby Atmos mix and two promotional films for "Day Tripper" and "We Can Work It Out." Preordering is available here.

You can view a complete track listing for the 5LP set below, plus an overview of all the collection options. Additionally, fans can listen to "Michelle (Take 1)" from the collection below.

When Was the Last Time the Beatles Releases a Box Set?

It's been less than a year since the last Beatles box set arrived — that was 2025's Anthology Collection, which, as its title suggests, contains all three of the band's previous Anthology releases, plus a new one compiled by Giles Martin, son of George Martin. The younger Martin was responsible for making remastering all of the music, while Jeff Lynne provided new mixes of "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love."
