The album marks the beginning of their psychedelic period and the use of their experiences of drugs such as LSD as a source of inspiration. None of the songs on the album were ever performed live, partially due to their difficulty. The album artwork was sketched by Klaus Voorman who drew the band from memory. ]]> 2021-01-20 22:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/awilson3103/iqozooy0l51b0g6x/wish/1107900023 AWilson3103 https://padlet.com/awilson3103/iqozooy0l51b0g6x/wish/1108006928 Following on from the the studio experimentation that had typified Sgt.

Journalist Lillian Roxon wrote that Rubber Soul was "the classic psychedelic album now played at all the psychedelic discotheques". She attributed pop's embrace of psychedelia and "many of the strange new sounds now in records" to the album’s influence.

At the time of recording, he was closely involved with underground music scene in London, trying to scope out upcoming trends, and became inspired by early experiments with electronic music by the likes of Stockhausen.

Unknown to the group, Riley had slipped LSD into their coffees, leading to their first experiences of the hallucinogenic drug. They described the small room they were staying in as feeling "as big as the Albert Hall" and inducing the sense of "falling in love".
