Overview

  • Apple Corps and Universal Music Group will release the expanded 'Rubber Soul' on October 2, 2026, with new stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes produced by Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell.
  • The Super Deluxe set contains 24 session recordings, including 20 previously unreleased takes and three never‑before‑released home demos by John Lennon, plus a hardcover 88‑page book with an introduction by Paul McCartney.
  • The reissue is offered across multiple formats — single‑album, 2‑CD/2‑LP deluxe, 4‑CD/5‑LP Super Deluxe, Blu‑ray with high‑resolution audio and promo films, and limited colored vinyl — with regional pricing such as R$129.90 for the standalone album and R$1,449.90 for the Super Deluxe in Brazil.
  • Producers used the original four‑track tapes and WingNut Films’ de‑mixing technology, a process that isolates individual instruments and voices from mixed tracks so engineers can create new stereo and Atmos mixes from old recordings.
  • The release continues the Beatles’ ongoing catalogue reissue program and is likely to boost archival interest, offer new material for fans and scholars, and shape how the band’s mid‑1960s work is heard and marketed to collectors.
