Many fans consider this album to be a better and more important release than their generally acknowledged masterpiece, June 1967’s Sgt. The Beatles were determined to make a very different recording than they had in the past, and the Fab Four certainly accomplished it with Revolver. Remember that this album was recorded on 4-track tape, so there were inevitably bounces or sub-mixes of tracks made along the way to extend their creativity - and the number of tracks they had to work with - in order to develop the rich, layered textures of this arguably first “next generation” Beatles record. This new stereo mix is quite remarkable in many ways, especially when you take a step back and think about what they’ve accomplished here. It is a strong improvement over the earlier stereo mixes, revealing many new sonic details which were previously not possible. However, the box set’s new stereo mix is a close second, for those of you who enjoy two-channel listening (Beatles or otherwise). To borrow a phrase from Adrian Belew of King Crimson, I like it!īut, you ask, is it perfect? Well, Revolver as an album is already perfect unto itself, and that designation of perfection will always be bestowed upon the original mono mix as constructed by The Beatles with original producer George Martin in 1966. I will get into the good stuff right from the jump, since I know a lot of you want to know how I (and we here at AP in general!) feel about this new stereo mix. This set features a striking new stereo remix helmed by producer Giles Martin and is a fantastic addition to The Beatles catalog, providing a tremendous insight into the music as well as into its making. ![]() If you are considering buying the new 180g 4LP/1EP Super Deluxe Edition vinyl box set celebrating The Beatles’ landmark August 1966 album Revolver that’s set for release on October 28, then you’ve come to the right place. ![]()
