Deconstructing the Beatles

Deconstructing Rubber Soul

Season 1, Episode 2 of 3

In October 1965, The Beatles faced an impossible task: produce a new album of original music in time for a Christmas release. Within a month, they had emerged with what many consider to be one of their greatest albums - Rubber Soul. They even had time to create a Double A-side single, "We Can Work It Out," backed by "Day Tripper." Both sides, as well as the album, hit No. 1 on the charts. Composer/producer/"Beatle-ologist" Scott Freiman walks fans through the creation of Rubber Soul - and the band's day-by-day race against the clock.
