About this deal

Robert, I’m Only Sleeping And Your Bird Can Sing, Good Day Sunshine and She Said She Said are filler, but GREAT filler. I hear you about Lennon’s three songs not being “necessary” as I’m not as inventive or creative as so many other songs. At the time Revolver was released the mono mix was seen as the definitive one, and the band and their trusty producer George Martin made a substantial investment of time in ensuring the mono mix was just right. Spinning popular music off its axis and ushering in a vibrant new era of experimental, avant-garde sonic psychedelia, Revolver brought about a cultural sea change and marked an important turn in The Beatles’ own creative evolution.

I’m sure there are some of you who are wondering how the new mono transfer of Revolver stacks up to prior versions — and before you ask, no, I’m not here to compare mono vs. Take note of those neat, mostly four-beat tambourine hits that help propel “And Your Bird Can Sing” and arguably lift the song, making it a clear standout track. The problem for the band, even though they didn’t tell me at the time, was that the music was getting far ahead of what pop music was in those days,” he says. 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. 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.Ringo’s drumming hits a lot harder, with random bits of noise flying about and cosmic seagulls sailing through the air from the right channel to the left and back again. Revolver: Special Edition is an expanded reissue of the 1966 album Revolver by the English rock band the Beatles. Just want to add a couple of comments to the mix, not really related to the album Revolver to the the broader contribution of the Beatles. Besides, it's not as though the Beatle police are going to come around to your place, and confiscate all your existing copies of Revolver, and force you to accept this new-fangled rendering.

From "Taxman" to "Tomorrow Never Knows," The Beatles' Revolver has been newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell, and sourced directly from the original 4-track master tapes with audio brought forth in stunning clarity with the help of cutting-edge technology developed by the award-winning sound team at Peter Jackson's WingNut Films Productions Ltd.All the new Revolver releases feature the album's new stereo mix, sourced directly from the original 4-track master tapes. On reflection it feels like these sets have gotten less and less impressive with each release after the very wonderful White Album Box. I actually like what Giles Martin did to the 2022 remix of Revolver, my second favorite album by the Beatles.

The Revolver box set of course showcases the Grammy-winning original album artwork created by The Beatles’ longtime friend, German bassist, artist — and, for some of the solo-era Beatles, future musical collaborator — Klaus Voormann.Having worked on “Get Back,” Giles Martin found himself pivoting from the fractious headspace of the Beatles in 1969 to the much livelier mind-set of 1966. I’ve always (well, for the past 43 years since I discovered the album) heard the yawn as well as Paul’s bass on the aforementioned section of ‘Taxman. Along with the restoration of the original album artwork by Voormann, the record sleeve that holds the session outtakes features Robert Freeman's proposed cover design, featuring the heads of the Beatles in a psychedelic circle. Before the LP format existed an “album” was literally an album — a collection of 78 RPM records with their paper sleeves bound together. 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.
