WAIT, komponiert von John Lennon, sollte ursprünglich auf der LP HELP! erscheinen, wurde jedoch verworfen. Für RUBBER SOUL wurde es neu arrangiert. Vom Sound her passt es eher zu den Songs auf HELP! und fällt auf RUBBER SOUL soundtechnisch aus dem Rahmen. Dutch Album Top 100 (26/09/2009)". dutchcharts.nl.

The smart money is on Rubber Soul, so we thought than rather complain bout it after it has been released, we’d give Apple our ideas and requests as to what fans and collectors would like to see included in a Rubber Soul super deluxe box set.

Author George Case, writing in his book Out of Our Heads, identifies Rubber Soul as "the authentic beginning of the psychedelic era". [27] Music journalist Mark Ellen similarly credits the album with having "sow[ed] the seeds of psychedelia", [333] while Christgau says that "psychedelia starts here." [340] [nb 26] Writing in The Sydney Morning Herald in July 1966, Lillian Roxon reported on the new trend for psychedelia-themed clubs and events in the US and said that Rubber Soul was "the classic psychedelic album now played at all the psychedelic discotheques". She attributed pop's recent embrace of psychedelia and "many of the strange new sounds now in records" to the LP's influence. [341] Larkin, Colin, ed. (2006).

IN MY LIFE ist der erste Song, den John Lennon über seine Kindheit geschrieben hat. Produzent George Martin spielte den von Bach inspirierten Mittelteil auf dem Klavier. Er nahm es in halber Geschwindigkeit auf und fügte es in doppelter Geschwindigkeit in den Song ein. John Lennon was the most prolific. He was the lead writer on 9 songs…including “Norwegian Wood”, “In My Life”, “Day Tripper”, “Girl”, and “Nowhere Man”…which John said just came to him all at once.Key amongst Lennon’s pieces is In My Life. Its childhood reminisces still sound gorgeous, the song carrying far more weight than its writer's 24 years, illuminated by producer George Martin's beautiful piano solo: recorded at half speed and later doubled, the sound is reminiscent of a harpsichord and fulfilled Lennon’s request for something Baroque-sounding.

Recorded in October and November 1965, the punningly-titled Rubber Soul is a transitional album that bridges the gap between its makers’ earlier pop rush and their future experimentation. Its upbeat sides are slightly off-kilter: Drive My Car, You Won't See Me and (previous album) Help! leftover Wait are great, beat-driven numbers that sound slightly kinky, while the peace-espousing The Word predates the summer of love by 18 months.
