 That Capitol should be preparing a new Beatles album for a June release, the first of three for the year, was also consistent with the US approach to the band's LP releases, following the pattern of 1964 and 1965.Similarly, the February 1966 single "Nowhere Man" – a song Capitol omitted from its reconfigured "Rubber Soul" in December 1965 – was a typical practice whereby the company exploited the most commercial-sounding EMI LP tracks and signalled a forthcoming album.
