Revolver album Product Description
This reissue of REVOLVER has been digitally re-mastered. It comes packaged with replicated original U.K. album art, an expanded booklet containing original and newly written liner notes, and rare photos. Limited quantities of the CD are embedded with a brief documentary film about the album. Arguably the first psychedelic rock album, REVOLVER was praised for its musical experimentation--the Indian sounds of "Love You To," the Motown-inspired "Got To Get You Into My Life," the backwards guitar in "I'm Only Sleeping." "Tomorrow Never Knows" was the most radical departure from previous Beatles' recordings for its skeletal bass/drums propulsion enhanced only with tape loops (contributed by all four Beatles and added in the mix-down process), more backwards guitar, and an eerie John Lennon vocal. Still, the Beatles' experimentation grew out of their songwriting, which had matured beyond formula pop. "Tomorrow Never Knows" was inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Harrison's "Taxman" was a bitter diatribe, and McCartney's "Eleanor Rigby" was a bleak portrait of loneliness. ...See Full Description

| Back to the basics! Very enjoyable to listen to music when the sound then, still sounds great today! By joseph.giardino (Franklin Park, Ill USA)  |
| A cannon of a revolver Sgt Pepper, undeniably one of the great albums of all time, put The Beatles in the pantheon of music gods.Previously their albums, excepting Rubber Soul and Revolver, were essentially comprised of "silly love songs". With Revolver, The Beatles set the scene for their major break from earlier writing, musicianship, and production. This is the album that gave birth to Sgt Pepper, and for that, it deserves the title of "My Favourite Album" By R.M.T. (Newcastle, Australia) |
| Revolver remaster These 2009 Beatles remastered digi-paks will be the standard by which other remasters are measured. However well you know the songs you will hear something new in them. The vocals are so clean they sound live. The guitar and bass sounds on "And Your Bird Can Sing" sound like they are contemporary. The strings are much crisper on "Eleanor Rigby" than on the original 1987 releases. Better even the re-mixed version from the 1999 "Yellow Submarine" soundtrack. It seems like the highs are what really stand out for me on this remaster- strings, guitars,cymbals. For the record,even though "Taxman" is the first time a George Harrison song kicked off an album, that classic "Taxman" lead guitar that we all know and love is actually being played by Paul McCartney. Later on their egos wouldn't allow such trading off on their instruments, but this album is still them as a band,bringing it creatively and not caring who gets credit for what.
