El 2 de octubre, UMG y Apple Corps lanzarán una serie de ediciones especiales de Rubber Soul, disponibles en formatos que van desde CD/LP sencillos hasta cajas Super Deluxe de hasta cinco vinilos. El proyecto incluye nuevas mezclas en estéreo y Dolby Atmos realizadas por Giles Martin y Sam Okell a partir de las cintas máster originales de cuatro pistas, mediante una tecnología de «de-mezcla» desarrollada por el equipo de Emile de la Rey en WingNut Films de Peter Jackson. También se recupera la mezcla mono original, la versión de Capitol US y el single doble cara A Day Tripper / We Can Work It Out.
Entre las rarezas destacan 24 grabaciones de sesión (20 tomas inéditas y tres demos caseras nunca publicadas), incluyendo versiones tempranas de We Can Work It Out y Day Tripper, además de una demo inédita de John Lennon titulado Little Girl. Las ediciones Super Deluxe suman un libro de 88 páginas con introducción de Paul McCartney y textos de contexto, mientras que ya puede escucharse como adelanto Michelle (Take 1).
