The wait is finally over! After years of expecting the Rubber Soul box set to be released, it’s coming out October 2nd, 2026. The full album and extra tracks are remixed by Giles Martin and Sam Okell.
The vinyl version has five albums and the “We Can Work It Out” & “Day Tripper” single that was released on the same day as the original album. Plus there’s an 88-page hardcover book.
The CD box set has four discs, and the two tracks of the single are included. It also has the full-size hardcover book.
The box sets include the British album in remixed stereo, an album of 26 outtakes from the recording sessions, the British album in original mono, and the U.S. album in original stereo.
Below are the extra session tracks as shown on the CD version (click or zoom to enlarge). The only completely new song is John Lennon’s demo of “Little Girl”.
If you don’t want to spring for a box set, there are 2-disc and 1-disc versions available.
The best bargain is probably the two CD version with a 40-page booklet. One CD is the new remixed album, and the other has 16 highlights from the session outtakes.
A Blu-ray version is also available. It has the new Dolby Atmos and Stereo remixes of the original album, plus videos of “We Can Work It Out” and “Day Tripper”. It’s priced at $36.
There’s even an unusual single vinyl album picture disc for sale on The Beatles website.
We’ve waited a long time, but soon we’ll have the fully remixed version of Rubber Soul and its outtakes. I’ve already ordered my box set.
