Revolver

Product Information

I’m glad you like the remix, I thought it was fantastic, everything you said about it is exactly my feelings as well. You mention “outstanding musicianship” and to me, that is one of the most important things about Revolver- they were all still mates and didn’t hate eachother.

There is just no way the Beatles recorded it in B-flat; it almost certainly was recorded in A, and you can tell by how sonorous the guitars are, denoting open strumming and not a capo or barre chord. The iconic, sunny rite of singalong passage for children everywhere and a favorite for the young-at-heart began quite differently than it finished.The marvelous string arrangement of “Eleanor Rigby” was hampered by the violins and violas and cellos being all piled on top of one another, elbowing each other for space in the small part of the center of the stereo field available to them.

The ‘Get Back’ period was like all of your Christmas presents have been opened,” Martin says in a suave English accent uncannily reminiscent of his late father’s. Someone once said there was never a greater contrast on a Beatles album than that of the bummed out bad acid trip of “She Said She Said” followed by the bright sing-song shiny enthusiasm of “Good Day Sunshine”, and I think they are right.The two discs of Sessions outtakes feature reproductions of what I assume is a genuine test pressing label. The use of E7♭9 vocal harmony always sounded wonky to me so I don’t think it’s actually sung out of tune. On October 28, 2022, Revolver will be released worldwide in a range of beautifully presented, newly mixed and expanded Special Edition packages by Apple Corps Ltd.

Enjoy the decay on Ringo’s cymbal crashes on “Taxman,” and that splash cymbal on “Good Day Sunshine. The outer box printed artwork isn't fixed to the card box very well, leaving very obvious, large and numerous visible air bubbles under the surface. We get to hear an early version of the song played straight without that lift, and the tune nearly lies flat without it.The sunny vocals on “Good Day Sunshine” sound even sunnier, more upfront and joyful and bursting with optimism. after putting on the new stereo mix to find the whole presentation much, much warmer, and far more inviting as an end-to-end listen. But we also get to see the alternate cover art by longtime photographer/collaborator Robert Friedman, who had done many of their album cover photos including the iconic one for With The Beatles (a.

I Want To Tell You” feels like a lot of ideas that need a bit of polish, but it at least looks forward.Revolver's Special Edition also includes "Yellow Submarine" Take 4 and highlighted sound effects (a complex and merry sonic seascape, including Mal Evans' sand-shoveling and Brian Jones' glass-clinking) for listeners to journey with The Beatles through the song's progression. It inspired a flood of successors that benefited from the example it gave for what an album could be, and fifty years of other albums following the trail it blazed makes it a little hard to see Revolver as the ground zero that spawned them all. 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. Giles Martin (George Martin's son) is fully aware of all aspects of the performance and history of the recording.
