About this deal

Ingham, Chris (2006). The Rough Guide to the Beatles (2nded.). London: Rough Guides/Penguin. ISBN 978-1-84836-525-4. Revolver has appeared high up in many lists of the best albums ever made, [401] [433] often in the top position. [434] [435] It was voted the third best album of all time in the 1998 "Music of the Millennium" poll [436] conducted by HMV and Channel 4, [437] and in the following year's expanded survey, which polled 600,000 people across the UK. [438] [439] Also in 1998, it was ranked first in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums, directly ahead of Sgt. Pepper and The Beatles, [440] and it was first again in the 2000 edition of the book. [441] [442] Q placed it at number 1 in its list of the "50 Greatest British Albums Ever" in 2000; [443] [444] four years later, the album topped the same magazine's list "The Music That Changed the World". [445] In 2001, it topped VH1's "100 Greatest Albums", [445] [446] compiled from a poll of more than 500 journalists, music executives and artists. [447] In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked Revolver third on its list of the " 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", [448] [449] a position it retained on the magazine's revised list nine years later. [413] While working on the stereo remix, Martin vowed not to do anything that his father and the Beatles would not have done if the technology had been available in 1966. “It’s not my interpretation,” he insists. His priority was to enhance the album’s youthful, anything-goes vitality. “The band are always going to be 25 on ‘Revolver’ — they’re younger than Harry Styles — so they might as well sound like that. That enthusiasm!”

Most musicians, however, were united in awe. “For me, ‘Revolver’ is the Beatles’ best album,” says John Sebastian of the Lovin’ Spoonful, who later learned that his song “ Daydream” had inspired the album’s feel-good side-two opener, “Good Day Sunshine.” “Everybody thought that ‘Sgt. Pepper’ was the greatest thing ever [but] it didn’t have what ‘Revolver’ had. ‘Revolver’ was ferocious in its originality.” Brazilian album certifications – The Beatles – Revolver" (in Portuguese).

Yet the main attraction of the outtakes is what happens outside of the music: the snatches of conversation, laughter and friendly disagreement that place the listener in the room with four young men who feel as if there is nothing they cannot do.

There’s no point in just doing this to make money or as a sales thing or because we’d done the others," he continued. "It’s more important that we do it for the right reason.” The Beatles’ 1966 LP Revolver is being reissued in a deluxe edition by Apple, Capitol, and UMe this October. According to MacDonald, this was the "price" the Beatles paid alongside their being appointed MBEs in September 1965. [163] Aside from the financial imposition, Harrison was alarmed that the money was being used to fund the manufacture of military weapons. [164]

Iteration and fearless experimentation were always Beatles hallmarks, but Revolver found the band accelerating headfirst into innovation. Part of that was life experiences seeping into their art after a whirlwind few years: 1965’s Rubber Soul – the studio album directly before Revolver – contained forays into psychedelic pop as well as sharply observed (if straightforward) original songwriting. But, for the first time since their global breakthrough, the Beatles took a break in early 1966, canceling a proposed film and taking four months off before heading into the studio. Revolver’s music is the result of the band members having space to breathe and reset their creativity. The special edition also includes a remastered mono version and two discs of outtakes, which Martin compares to the pencil sketches in an art exhibition. Lennon’s first demo of “ Yellow Submarine” is the major revelation. The song that ended up delighting millions of children and inspiring an animated movie began life as a gloomy folk ballad about a dying town. Kent, David (2005). Australian Chart Book (1940–1969).

Mark Smotroff is an avid vinyl collector who has also worked in marketing communications for decades. He has reviewed music for AudiophileReview.com, among others, and you can see more of his impressive C.V. at LinkedIn. A literal lifelong Beatles fan, Mark confirms one of his three earliest life memories from his childhood is of watching The Beatles debut on The Ed Sullivan Show with his family in 1964.) With Revolver, the Beatles finally took the time to untether themselves from their past. They got a rare break from touring and moviemaking, catching their breath between tokes and trips. When they finally reconvened at Abbey Road, the first thing they recorded, strangely, was Lennon’s acid bath “Tomorrow Never Knows,” then known as “Mark I.” Beatlemaniacs have already heard the sleepy, eerie first take of the song on Anthology 2, also included here, but in the context of the Revolver box, it’s stunning how the tune (more of a meditation really) with its dolorous, unchanging base loop (which sounds a bit like a cello with emphysema) was nearly fully formed at its onset. Lennon’s lyrics, kind of an interdimensional blues ripped from Timothy Leary’s interpretation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, still sound ominous and anything but cute. Based on retail sales up to early October 1966, Revolver was the eighth-highest-selling album of the year in the US. [357] Although commercially successful, it ranked only equal tenth (with Help!) on the list of the Beatles' biggest-selling albums in the US, as supplied by Allen Klein in 1970. [358] According to figures published in 2009 by former Capitol executive David Kronemyer, further to estimates he gave in MuseWire magazine, [359] the album had sold 1,187,869 copies in the US by 31 December 1966 and 1,725,276 copies by the end of the decade.
