About this deal

After listening to the two “Sessions” CDs that offer alternate takes, rehearsals and demos, I was somewhat disappointed. Yeah, that’s true, Pet Sounds is a masterpiece, unlike any other album ever released really, and it did influence Revolver.

As he did on other recent Beatles reissues, George Martin’s son Giles handles production and remixing duties on Revolver. 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. Mark Smotroff is an avid vinyl collector who has also worked in marketing communications for decades.

S., Capitol released an 11-track version of Revolver, which spent six weeks at number one on Billboard's albums chart. Now I’ve also got a hot take on the album – I’m gonna agree with Serene Dominic in the Phoenix New Times on this one and admit that I like the original U. Beatles fans will never agree on what is the band’s finest album, but “Revolver” began to replace “Sgt.

That the band steered Yellow Submarine from morose folk trifle to boisterous stoner singalong seems improbable, but the tapes don’t lie: through a combination of focused acoustic woodshedding and whimsical studio risks, the band arrived at the more familiar, upbeat Yellow Submarine. I’ve always thought the electric rhythm guitar in the song was a little too gruff, a little too gritty, a little too sandpapery for such a gentle, stately song. 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. There have only been one or two instances where I would have preferred certain vocals pushed back a little bit, mix-wise, but in general, I’m not complaining. My only wish to make this fine box set even finer would have been for the Apple corps to have given us even more!

Because the 2022 production team were able to break out all the instruments using, according to the official press release, “cutting edge de-mixing technology developed by the award-winning sound team led by Emile de la Rey at Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films Productions Ltd.

The Beatles' final Revolver recording session took place in Studio Two on the evening of June 21, 1966 into the wee hours of June 22, just one day before the band traveled to Munich to start their international summer tour. Tomorrow Never Knows" has a bit of it too on the remix, but nowhere near as bad as "She Said She Said.

In the past, that key moment just sort of thumped by quietly, but now you can almost feel the space of the Abbey Road/EMI studio locale and the seeming resonance of Macca’s bass amplifier. Got To Get You Into My Life does have incredible horn clarity, but at the expense of what may be my favorite moment in the whole album: the guitar burst at the end. While Revolver doesn’t necessarily have the kaleidoscopic depths of the 2017 remix of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, that’s no slight.

Stereo mixes of The Beatles’ albums had also been made at this point, but they didn’t sell nearly as well. And Your Bird Can Sing may just be one of the Beatles most underrated songs in their entire catalog, and while Dr. 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. 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.To be honest I never knew it was a yawn, just thought it was a back round noise the Beatles left in the mix which they often did. And Your Bird Can Sing” is not great as a song – take away those barnstorming guitars, and it loses much of its appeal, the song can’t stand alone on its message or melody. Enjoy the decay on Ringo’s cymbal crashes on “Taxman,” and that splash cymbal on “Good Day Sunshine.
