Rubber Soul
(Parlophone. PMC 1267 (mono)

3rd December 1965
All songs composed by
unless otherwise noted.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of (arguably) The Beatles' folkiest album Rubber Soul, Mike
Harding presents a tribute from the cream of the folk music community of the British Isles.
All the artists taking part did so with a huge amount of enthusiasm, some immediately drawn to the classics from the
album, others relishing the challenge of the more oblique. In each case the artist was given a completely free hand. Some
interpretations are faithful, albeit acoustic versions of the original; others have taken the opportunity to give a completely
new feel to the song.
From Ralph McTell's Michelle, complete with accordion and ukuleles, to June Tabor's
unaccompanied rendition of In My Life, this is a remarkable collection which illustrates not only the great writing
skills of The Beatles, but also the inventiveness and creativity of British folk artists.
The songs will be played
on Mike's show in the same order they appear on the Beatles album:
