One significant mistake (as others have touched on) is the incorrect speed for the "actual speed" version of "Rain." There is just no way the Beatles recorded it in B-flat; it almost certainly was recorded in A, and you can tell by how sonorous the guitars are, denoting open strumming and not a capo or barre chord. Listen to Ringo's snare drum too - it is clearly too tight, and unnatural sounding. When I slowed down my turntable to get the song into the key of A, it felt so much better. I don't know how this was messed up so badly. The book even refers to the song being recorded in B-flat. I just think that is wrong! However, since I can easily slow it down with my turntable, this is forgivable. Badman, Keith (2001). The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After the Break-Up 1970–2001. London: Omnibus Press. ISBN 978-0-7119-8307-6. Very cool set. The astonishing aspect: the Gilles Martin mixes still let you hear the albums as you knew them (different to the remixed Rory Gallagher albums re-released in the 1990's that were completely different to the originals). Well done, just better than the 1966 stereo with its clear division of left and right channels. And even though the 2012 stereo is my personal favourite (a 24bit/ 48 kHz file pressed on vinyl with surprisingly good results), this as a creative whole might be the best way to experience "Revolver", an album that clearly contains one negative aspect: it's way too short. So this box set is making me very happy, as it shows the Beatles on top of the game. Matrix / Runout (Side B runout): 0602445599530-B 1359065 245165E2 MILES. ABBEY ROAD 1/2 SPEED. ROOM30The revitalization aspect is handled well. The music has been readily available for more than 50 years, so giving it a new stereo mix makes sense. Since the Beatles recorded Revolver with a mono mix in mind, the original stereo mix was essentially an afterthought, but with the stereo format going mainstream in the decades since, the mono mix fell by the wayside and the comparatively slap-dash stereo mix became the better-known version. The new current-day stereo mix, then, honors the original editions while taking better advantage of the stereo format to meet the consumer expectations that come with 50-plus years of improvements in home audio. Literally anything [could come out of the next recording sessions]. Electronic music, jokes ... one thing's for sure – the next LP is going to be very different.

American album certifications – The Beatles – Revolver". Recording Industry Association of America . Retrieved 15 September 2013. Held at Wembley's Empire Pool, in north-west London, this was the last concert that the Beatles played before a paying audience in the United Kingdom. [52] Session outtakes usually bore me to death, I give them a listen once and never again, but on this release the outtakes and working tape recordings are all top notch and very, very entertaining. In its lyrical themes, the album marks a radical departure from the Beatles' past work, as a large majority of the songs avoid the subject of love. [153] According to Reising and LeBlanc, the lyrics on this and the band's later psychedelic records capture the psychedelic culture's belief in the truth-revealing qualities of LSD over the illusions of bourgeois thinking; reject materialism in favour of Asian-inspired spirituality; and explore the overlap in meaning between a "trip" and travelling, resulting in narratives in which time and space become blurred. [154] Where the songs do present as love songs, the authors continue, love is often conveyed as a unifying force among many, rather than between two individuals, or as a "way of life". [155]
