Revolver

Product Information

If there is a certificate we’ve missed out on then it’s probably for a 50 metre swim badge at the local swimming baths. Working anxiously late into the night for a week, he filled a sheet of A2 graphic paper with magic-marker sketches — the Beatles in a hot-air balloon, the Beatles in a boat — but correctly predicted that the band would choose the image inspired by their lengthening hair: an illustration of four heads in the style of the Victorian artist Aubrey Beardsley. S., Capitol released an 11-track version of Revolver, which spent six weeks at number one on Billboard's albums chart.

I expect he isn’t listening to Thelonius Monk or Hank Williams or Mozart ‘cause, you know, that’s from the past.The descending bass notes – doubled on piano – ring out all the more clearly on “For No One”, and the song feels all the more melancholy for it. I’ll go out on a limb here and say that of the two, Revolver is actually the more influential – put aside the hype for a moment, and ask yourself what was really done on Sgt. Personally, I don’t find this a problem — remember, the goal here is not to replace the original mixes — which you can access and play anytime, mind you — but to present a new perspective on this music with newfound clarity. Having received George's help to create a whole new song from some unfinished fragments, John led the group through the rehearsals and recording while the clock ticked away the last remaining session time. It is refreshing to hear a different generational perspective of how this musician became a Beatles fan.

It is hard to overstate how amazing it is in the way the producers have been able to isolate these tracks in such a high-fidelity manner. Tomorrow Never Knows" has a bit of it too on the remix, but nowhere near as bad as "She Said She Said.Check out what an immersive experience “Yellow Submarine” has become – it has been remixed twice before, but never before have you felt the waves washing over you in the first verse, or found yourself in the center of a dinner party where “our friends are all aboard”, complete with clinking glasses and casual laughter. As he did on other recent Beatles reissues, George Martin’s son Giles handles production and remixing duties on Revolver. The studio itself became an instrument as George Martin and his engineers, Ken Townsend and 20-year-old newcomer Geoff Emerick, innovated with double-tracking, microphone placement and sound effects.
