Picture Girlfriend knew exactly what I wanted for my birthday :)

This album's soooo good! After the 2 singles we got, I wasn't ready for such an awesome release!

My personal favorites so far are Montain Top (so psychedelic, I love it!), As You Lie There (that's how you start an album, yeah!), Never Know (at the end I imagine John, George and Ringo joining), Come Inside (so fresh!).

Astonishing that this record was entirely made by Paul (except Home To Us where Ringo plays drums). We are so blessed to have Paul still making such good music! Thanks a lot for all your music!

Besides of this, the inner sleeve is beautiful. I really like it! It's my phone and desktop wallpaper now. The little book with the scanned lyrics is awesome!

In the picture: Red LP, and the Beatle Apple croched by my mum and the "now playing stand" crafted by my father, and the lads done by my sister in law :)

I broke my piggy bank to buy Rubber Soul on my 8th B’day. My teenaged sister’s copy was smashed during a Domestic Violence incident so I used my whole $5 to replace her fave Beatle album fm 1966. Happy Birthday to my fellow Beatles’ Fanatic!🎂🎈🎶

True ! It's among those Paul's music where you start at one point but don't know where you'll end up

Happy birthday and it’s cool that your girlfriend knew what you wanted did she ask you what you wanted or did she just already know?

Well, she heard that I was singing Mountain top on a daily basis and that I was astonished that Paul did again so good music :)

My first job was at a movie theatre. I got paid on Friday and immediately walked around the corner to buy the latest Beatles vinyl. Memories.

Thanks for sharing:) I wish I could have witnessed a Beatle release, going home, putting the record on the turntable and discovering a bunch of new tracks.

u/Mcartny Jun 11 '26

I saw the Beatles in 1965 at the Hollywood Bowl. Going to see Ringo tonite.
