Notes



DISC FOUR, shrouded in a haze of herbal smoke, opens with a remake of the hapless "That Means A Lot". The session tape for "Help!" puts you smack dab in EMI #2 as the band struggles with, and ultimately conquers, one of their best numbers. October 1965 arrives bearing a great batch of RUBBER SOUL offcuts, many as good as the ones that ended up on the album. And best of all, the alternates of "I'm Looking Through You" and "12-Bar Original" are in true uncut stereo, unlike certain Apple releases.
