Let’s go back to the old stereo mix which was crafted by original Beatles producer George Martin in 1966. Sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes, with audio brought forth in stunning clarity with the help of cutting-edge technology developed by the award-winning sound team at Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films Productions Ltd. It is hard to overstate how amazing it is in the way the producers have been able to isolate these tracks in such a high-fidelity manner. The time allocated for filming and recording songs for a soundtrack was removed from the band’s schedule, allowing the group to take a four-month break before the Revolver recording sessions began.

Taken with the whole of Revolver, the short three-year span between these songs illuminates the band’s astonishing creative progression. Previous boxsets from Universal or Capitol used Rainbo pressing and suffered through poor pressings- particularly the solo John Lennon titles.

However, those of us who were totally knocked out by the precise detailing of The Beatles In Mono box (with its reproduction of the very different folded-over tab-type construction of the original UK Beatles records) might have to reset one’s expectations a bit, as these are more standard, modern constructs. One of the big benefits of this new remix may also be a bit of a nit to pick for some of you especially hardcore Beatles fanatics. And I’m not just talking about core Revolver tracks like “Tomorrow Never Knows” — which is a landmark in its own right — but also amazing songs like “She Said She Said,” where the lift of his drumming is just magnificent.

Instead, his approach involves amplifying the existing nuances of the music from a contemporary perspective, meaning even familiar songs sound fresher. To wit: there was quite a bit of white paper-packaging dust on the inner sleeves to the mono and stereo albums included in the Revolver Super Deluxe Edition set.Revolver’s music is the result of the band members having space to breathe and reset their creativity.

All the new Revolver releases feature the album’s new stereo mix, sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes. As heard on the Special Edition’s Sessions One, this recording sounds very different from the released track. This is a big deal, as most of this music has never been released, though seven Revolver-era tracks did appear in the Anthology series back in the 1990s, so there is some potential overlap.

Yes, to get that oddly lethargic implied stoned swagger that made “Rain” so hypnotic, the Fabs actually recorded it really fast, in an almost proto-punk power-pop manner — hey hey hey, The Beatles go “Gabba Gabba Hey!

Perhaps a better strategy would be to hire some young kids to play all the Beatle parts over again and re-sing it too. 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. More literal in concept, the alternate Revolver cover design gracing the Sessions LP gatefold cover features a groovy swirling collage of images of all four Beatles.With George on sitar and vocals, Paul on tamboura and vocal harmony, and university student Anil Bhagwat on tabla, the song’s intricate arrangement began to take shape over several takes.
