December 6, 1965… In North America, the Beatles released the "Rubber Soul" album and their single "We Can Work It Out" b/w "Day Tripper," three days after they were issued in the UK. In a discussion about what song to release as a single, John Lennon argued for "Day Tripper," differing with the majority view that "We Can Work It Out" was a more commercial song. As a result, the single was marketed as the first "double A-side."
