Rob Sheffield Quote
But the intimate candor of their voices, the wit of the guitars and drums—it all makes Rubber Soul my favorite story they had to tell. Even the American version—this is the only case where the shamefully butchered U.S. LP might top the U.K. original, if only because it opens with the magnificent one-two punch of I’ve Just Seen a Face and Norwegian Wood. I still can’t decide which Rubber Soul is my favorite, having had a mere lifetime to make up my mind.
