Here's a superior piece of Beatles cash-in from 1966 on the Mirwood label, a complete rendition of the American version of "Rubber Soul" by some of the finest West Coast session musicians. The album was masterminded by label owner Randy Wood who had released some of the Beatles first records in the U.S. when he was running the Vee-Jay label. Producer Marshall Lieb, who had been a member of the Teddy Bears with Phil Spector, is joined by engineer David Hassinger who engineered most of the Stones' big hits of the mid-60s. The musicians here were some of the biggest names on the West Coast scene, familiar from the records of Phil Spector, the Beach Boys and other L.A. hits. Features Don Randi, Elvis' guitarist James Burton and drummer Hal Blaine.
