Title: The names of the albums
Post by: real01 on March 07, 2011, 10:14:31 PM

The Rubber Soul cover was the first by The Beatles to not have the group's name on it.
Though this was not the first time in rock/pop history this had been done (Elvis Presley,
Them, and the Rolling Stones had done it previously), releasing an album without the artist's
name on the cover was uncommon in 1965. Future Beatles albums, including Revolver, Abbey Road,
Let It Be and the American compilation Hey Jude also have covers without the words 'The Beatles'
on them. By contrast, The Beatles, commonly called the White Album, contained only the words
'The Beatles' on the cover.

Have you noticed that before - or you noticed that when you read this article?
Another interesting bit for us - Beatle fanatics...

It wasn't until The Beatles released The Beatles that I looked at my earlier Beatles LPs and saw that their name wasn't on cover of Rubber Soul.
