- Set includes 68 tracks, new remixes, outtakes and standalone Atmos mix

## Summary

UMG and Apple Corps have released full details of their "super deluxe" reissue of The Beatles' 1965 album Rubber Soul, due out on 2 October, with the standout revelation being a previously unheard John Lennon composition, described in promotional materials as a "song outline", titled "Little Girl". A remixed version of "Michelle" was released alongside the announcement to give fans an immediate taste of the unreleased material included in the set, which arrives four years after similar deluxe treatment was given to Revolver.

The flagship "Rubber Soul: Special Edition Super Deluxe" contains 68 tracks across five LPs or four CDs, including 24 session outtakes, new stereo mixes by Giles Martin and Sam Okell, a double-sided single of "Day Tripper" and "We Can Work It Out", and both the original US Capitol running order and mono mix alongside the remixed British version. Unlike the 2022 Revolver reissue, the Dolby Atmos mix will be sold as a standalone physical release rather than bundled into the CD box, and an 88-page hardback book accompanies both the LP and CD super deluxe editions. Smaller two-LP and two-CD deluxe versions, with a 16-track disc of demos and sessions, and a Blu-ray edition with hi-res audio, Atmos mix and four videos, are also being released for fans who don't want the full set.
