Rubber Soul is the sixth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 3 December 1965 in the United Kingdom, on EMI’s Parlophone label, accompanied by the non-album double A-side single “Day Tripper” / “We Can Work It Out”. The original North American release, issued by Capitol Records, contains ten of the fourteen songs and two tracks withheld from the band’s Help! album. Rubber Soul was met with a highly favourable critical response and topped sales charts in Britain and the United States for several weeks.

Headquarters is the third studio album by the American pop rock band The Monkees, released on May 22, 1967, by Colgems Records. It was the first Monkees album on which the four band members played instruments and wrote much of the material themselves, following a struggle for creative control over their music with supervisor Don Kirshner.
