Expanded edition of The Beatles’ Rubber Soul includes a previously unreleased John Lennon song that was hidden in the vaults for decades
An expanded edition of The Beatles’ Rubber Soul will include a previously unreleased John Lennon song, Little Girl, after the demo was found in the Lennon Estate’s archives. Its release is significant because it adds a newly uncovered Lennon recording to one of the band’s most celebrated albums.
The reissue is due on 2 October through UMG and Apple Corps Ltd. Producer Giles Martin said the track emerged unexpectedly during preparations, apparently through Sean Lennon, while Martin and engineer Sam Okell have also created new mixes of the album alongside the original mono mix.
