Revolver’s Special Edition also features The Beatles’ first take of “Tomorrow Never Knows” from the April 6 session and a mono mix that was issued on a small number of records before the LP was recut with the correct version. The reissue of The Beatles’ 1966 album Revolver has been officially confirmed and is coming in late October. On October 28, Revolver will be released worldwide in a range of beautifully presented, newly mixed and expanded Special Edition packages by Apple Corps Ltd. This label exhibits a new layout design most notably with side one having both “Taxman” and “Eleanor Rigby” on the first line. Besides, it's not as though the Beatle police are going to come around to your place, and confiscate all your existing copies of Revolver, and force you to accept this new-fangled rendering.

Most hardcore Beatles fans like us would have loved another album or two of outtakes and rehearsals, of course. I agree with previous review - best-sounding picture disc so far of the Giles Martin's remixes: hardly any crackle like the others have (after a good Spin Clean / ultrasound). Following the December 1965 release of their groundbreaking album, Rubber Soul, and after wrapping up that year’s tour dates, a late decision to cancel shooting plans for a third Beatles film, A Talent For Loving, would have a significant effect on the creation of Revolver. All formats offer a new stereo mix by Giles Martin and Sam Okell, sourced “directly from the original four-track master tapes” and utilising Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films’ cutting edge ‘de-mixing’ technology, which allows the separation of music previously ‘bounced down’ and fused together on one track.

It has been made with current technology and without imposing the restrictions necessitated by the limitations of record players in the 1960s.

Here, There And Everywhere” sounds incredibly gorgeous, and the minuet-esque “For No One” feels richer than any version I’ve ever heard.The credits pattern of “Song (Composer)-Lead Singer” has also now switched to “Song-Lead Singer (Composer)”. This new technology seems to be even more refined than the process used by The Beach Boys some years back to make a true stereo version of “Good Vibrations” (which only existed in mono back in 1966).

Revolver’s Special Edition also spotlights two more stages of the finished track’s evolution: an unreleased mono mix and a special mix highlighting the overdubs of three trumpets and two tenor saxophones. Taken with the whole of Revolver, the short three-year span between these songs illuminates the band’s astonishing creative progression. The Second “ standard” pressing of “ Revolver” has the same labels as the first pressing, but other matrix numbers: Side 1: XEX 605-2; Side 2: XEX 606-2 (or -3). 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. With no thoughts of reproducing their new material in concert, the band made liberal use of studio techniques such as varispeeding, reversed tapes, close audio miking and automatic double tracking (ADT), in addition to employing musical instrumentation outside of their standard live set-up.

Enjoy the decay on Ringo’s cymbal crashes on “Taxman,” and that splash cymbal on “Good Day Sunshine.I have compared it with the mono version and the both are complementary : pop songs are better on this version (eleanor rigby, for noone, tomorow never knows,…) whereas rock songs are better on mono (taxman, SHE said. 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.
