 Martin had expressed concern to EMI over the original 1965 stereo mix, claiming it sounded "very woolly, and not at all what I thought should be a good issue".He went back to the original four-track tapes and remixed them for stereo.A newly remastered version of "Rubber Soul", again using the 1987 Martin remix, was released worldwide as part of the reissue of the entire Beatles catalogue on 9 September 2009.
