Sam Okell

Giles' most recent project is a new special edition of The Beatles' 1965 album Rubber Soul, a record widely regarded as a defining moment in both pop music history and The Beatles' story.

Newly mixed by Giles and engineer Sam Okell, the special edition features new stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes alongside previously unreleased session recordings and home demos, opening the studio doors on The Beatles' creative process during the making of this seminal album.

Today I join Giles at his studio in Abbey Road, and what better way to start our conversation than by hearing something from the Rubber Soul new special edition.

This is Day Tripper.

Yeah

And there's a, like, a small group of us.
