Condition: VG+, sounds great; looks very scuffed up
Cultural Facts:

1. Media Narrative: Capitol’s U.S. track lineup differs from the U.K., so “Rubber Soul” meant two slightly different albums depending on where you bought it.

2. Album Art: The stretched cover image came from a projection/slide distortion during the photo review—an accident they chose to keep.

3. Scene Ecology: Much of it was written between flights, hotels, and shows—mid-’60s touring pressure turning the studio into a tight, scheduled checkpoint.
