# Beatles Rubber Soul reissue 2026 > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/beatles-rubber-soul-reissue-2026 > Updated: 2026-08-31T02:20:19.000Z. Sources: 62. Developments: 7. The Beatles’ 1965 album Rubber Soul will be reissued on 2 October 2026 in multiple configurations – standard CD/LP, 2 CD/2 LP, a Super Deluxe 4 CD/5 LP box and a Blu-ray edition – following an announcement by Universal Music Group and Apple Corps. Producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell have used modern demixing technology, developed by Emile de la Rey’s WingNut Films, to create new stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes from the original four-track tapes. The set also includes the original mono master, the 1965 Capitol US version, and the double-A-single “Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out”. The Super Deluxe edition adds 24 early session recordings – 20 previously unreleased takes, three home demos and the never-heard John Lennon demo “Little Girl” – plus an 88-page hardbound book with a Paul McCartney introduction and a foreword drawn from Lennon’s words. The “Little Girl” track, a two-minute-17-second acoustic guitar sketch, was discovered by Martin in Lennon’s personal archive while reviewing material provided by Sean Lennon. Additional archival content includes early versions of “Day Tripper” and “We Can Work It Out”. This includes a folk-style “Day Tripper” demo by Lennon that lacks the song’s iconic riff. A recently shared “songwriting work tape” for “Day Tripper” captures Lennon and McCartney working at Lennon’s house with acoustic guitars, featuring audio of the duo laughing and discussing the recording. The release is positioned as a high-resolution celebration of the album’s historic shift toward album-oriented artistry, preserving its legacy while offering contemporary listeners enhanced audio fidelity. Pre-orders are now open for all formats. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-31: The Beatles release unreleased 1965 ‘Day Tripper’ songwriting recording The Beatles released an unreleased 1965 songwriting tape of ‘Day Tripper’, recorded at John Lennon’s home, as part of the upcoming expanded ‘Rubber Soul’ album reissue. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/the-beatles-release-unreleased-1965-day-tripper-songwriting-recording ### 2026-08-28: The Beatles release unreleased 1965 ‘Day Tripper’ recording The Beatles have released an unreleased 1965 songwriting work tape of ‘Day Tripper’, featuring John Lennon and Paul McCartney, ahead of an expanded special edition of the album ‘Rubber Soul’. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/the-beatles-release-unreleased-1965-day-tripper-recording-1 ### 2026-08-26: The Beatles release rare 1965 songwriting tape of Day Tripper The Beatles have released a rare 1965 songwriting work tape of “Day Tripper,” capturing John Lennon and Paul McCartney composing the track without its famous riff ahead of a “Rubber Soul” reissue. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/the-beatles-announce-rubber-soul-reissue-and-share-rare-demo ### 2026-08-07: The Beatles launch expanded 'Rubber Soul' edition The Beatles' 1965 album 'Rubber Soul' gets a 2 Oct expanded release with new stereo/Dolby mixes, 20 unreleased tracks, demos and a deluxe box set, overseen by Giles Martin. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/the-beatles-launch-expanded-rubber-soul-edition ### 2026-08-02: The Beatles unveil expanded 'Rubber Soul' edition with new mixes and unreleased tracks The Beatles' 'Rubber Soul' gets a 2 Oct expanded edition with new stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes, original mono and US versions, plus 24 session recordings, including 20 previously unheard tracks. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/the-beatles-unveil-expanded-rubber-soul-edition-with-new-mixes-and-unreleased-tracks ### 2026-07-31: Beatles' 'Rubber Soul' Reissue Includes Lost John Lennon Track 'Little Girl The Beatles' Rubber Soul reissue on 2 Oct adds a super‑deluxe edition with new mixes and the first release of John Lennon's unreleased 1965 demo “Little Girl,” discovered by producer Giles Martin. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/beatles-rubber-soul-reissue-includes-lost-john-lennon-track-little-girl ### 2026-07-29: The Beatles to Release Expanded ‘Rubber Soul’ Super Deluxe Edition on Oct 2 The Beatles will release a Rubber Soul Super Deluxe edition on 2 Oct, with new stereo/Dolby Atmos mixes, unreleased session recordings, a John Lennon demo “Little Girl”, and an 88‑page book. 38 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/the-beatles-set-to-release-expanded-rubber-soul-box-set-on-oct-2 --- Cite as: Beatles Rubber Soul reissue 2026.
