Editorial Reviews
The classic original Beatles studio albums have been re-mastered by a dedicated team of engineers at Abbey Road Studios in London over a four year period utilising state of the art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. The result of this painstaking process is the highest fidelity the Beatles catalogue has seen since its original release.
Within each CD's new packaging, booklets include detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief documentary film about the album. The newly produced mini-documentaries on the making of each album, directed by Bob Smeaton, are included as QuickTime files on each album. The documentaries contain archival footage, rare photographs and never-before-heard studio chat from The Beatles, offering a unique and very personal insight into the studio atmosphere.

to Capitol Records, the Beatles were a Profit to be made and a HUGE profit at that and they wanted to milk Beatles fans for as MUCH money as possible due to the Fab Four's popularity.
NOTE:initially Capitol had NO interests in signing them until they started to see $$$$$ in their eyes after they became HUGE in the U.K.-FACT!
Let me tell you, this MONO LP sounds incredibly better! Eleanor Rigby was like a completely different, and way better, song. McCartney's voice sounded so clear and crisp and the chorus was amazing. I'm Only Sleeping, Here There and Everywhere, For No One, And Your Bird Can Sing sound DEFINITELY better in mono. Seriously, you can sit down, pay little to no attention to the music, and still hear the better and more shaking difference between Mono and Stereo. Every other song does sound better in mono but the difference is less noted when compared to Stereo.
If you're a Beatles fan and never listened to them in Mono before, buy this. This is one record, alongside Sgt. Pepper's, that is meant to be heard in Mono. If you're a fan of mono I'm sure you've already ordered this.
The packaging is nearly identical to the original, right down to the yellow and black Parlophone label on the record itself (only difference is the minor addition of a Sony Music/ATV credit). There is a booklet which explains the intent of keeping the packaging as close to the original release as possible. The vinyl itself is beautifully thick and heavy (as was the original vinyl), well protected in a white antistatic sleeve. I own a pressing from 1966 and compared them side by side and there is no contest: this new release blows the old one away in terms of sound quality, even accounting for the wear and scratches accumulated from nearly 50 years of (careful) play.
I own nearly all of the original UK pressings of the Beatles albums in mono and they're in very good shape for their age, so while I was following the news about the various remasterings, and I was happy Apple was going to make the Beatles' music available again in the right way for newer listeners, I was skeptical about my own need for re-purchasing anything. But after taking a chance and trying this new release of Revolver out, I'm on board, and I'll probably buy the box set.
Take it from me: if you're on the fence about getting these new remastered mono vinyls... don't be. Short of a complete stereo remix of the original multitrack tapes, I think this is the best the Beatles' music will ever sound.

Owning the 1988 and remastered cd’s along with the 2012 vinyl release, I decided to purchase the mono album to complete my collection.
Having heard so many good things regarding the quality of this release, from the packing, the vinyl itself and the opportunity to listen to the mono mix the Beatles intended you to hear, I was very excited.
I was therefore appalled to receive not only one copy of the aforementioned, but also a replacement that was riddled with both hairline scratches and scuffs over the entire surface area on both sides of the record. Not only was this a visual negative, because sonically they are also compromised with loud surface noise and crackles and pops that give the impression you are listening to a record over an open fire!
Having returned the first copy for an exchange, I am contemplating just getting a refund on the second copy as I cannot be bothered going through the exchange/refund process for a third time.
Please be wary when thinking of buying this album in mono as it would appear that a bad batch has made its way to Amazons Warehouse....
Well, what more can I say about possibly the best album by without doubt the biggest modern music band in history? I have quite a few of The Beatles' albums including 'The White Album,' and 'Sgt. Pepper,' the later more often than not hailed as their very best, I have to say I prefer this one.
There is no bad track here, despite 'Dr. Robert' often singled out as filler, it's still an ok song, it's just silver surrounded by gold and platinum! 'Revolver' features some of the Fab Four's most famous songs : 'Eleanor Rigby' and 'Yellow Submarine,' but what really sets this album apart is the number of slightly under the radar or less famous songs which are just as good, if not better than any of the tracks on the '1' / Number One's album collection. 'Taxman,' 'Here, There and Everywhere,' 'And Your Bird Can Sing,' 'Good Day Sunshine,' I could go on, are all stellar songs most bands would pray to have in their neglected back catalogue. Even the sitar, Eastern psychedelic duo of 'Love You To' and closer 'Tomorrow Never Knows' sound perfectly in place in the album. Basically, it's all good.
At the time I had this album my hifi system wasn't the best - just a simple music centre, but with the set-up I've got now, I was just blown away when I heard it as an auto rip (the CD's on is way at the time of writing this) and every track was excellent. It's only fair to comment that I'd forgotten just how good the album is. The stereo was excellent and I've never heard such clarity, but it was when I reached Tomorrow Never Knows that I really got the stereo effects. So many others have gone through the tracks, so I won't step on others' shoes, but stand-outs for me had to be Here, There and Everywhere, For No One, Eleanor Rigby, Good Day Sunshine and Tomorrow Never Knows. This leap forward into a completely new world of music by these lads is so much to their credit when you consider that two years ago, they were writing and singing songs which were of the boy meets girl, girl wrongs boy and boy wrongs girl type. It's an album that no one who wants to launch into their original albums should be complete without and if I've had this experience from the auto rip, I'm really looking forward to hearing the CD.
With 'Revolver', the Fabs made an impressive LP which deals with all kinds of mixed human emotions, including love, hate, depression, loneliness, laziness, and happiness, and as a result, the songs remain highly relatable. This is an electric mix, which truly reveals the breath of song writing talent that these four men now had, and how they were able to incorporate them in an array of different styles.
Personal favourites of mine include the outstanding ballad 'Here, There and Everywhere', the haunting orchestral brilliance of 'Eleanor Rigby', about the final days leading up to the death of lonely spinster, the bouncy and irresistible 'Good Day, Sunshine', and the lovely little gem 'For No One', all delivered by Paul Mcartney. Other standouts are the melodic 'And Your Bird Can Sing', and 'Tomorrow Never Knows', a magnificent experimental closer and largely considered to be one of the greatest songs of its time. Both of these have Ringo on vocal, as well as the children's sing-along hit 'Yellow Submarine', possibly the best known track on the album, and even this fits in quiet nicely with the rest of the material.
'Revolver' is a timeless psychedelic album, and is as fresh as it is classic. Although The Beatles continued to record great albums after 'Revolver', very rarely did they manage to fully repeat the sheer creativity and melody that is so evident on this one.
All that's left to really say is: Long live John, Paul, George and Ringo!
True , the remastered stereo mixes seem odd at times with instruments (e.g. John's scratchy rhythm guitar ) coming at you out of the blue from odd angles and then disappearing. But the overall assault is dynamic - like a boxer's punch flurry. The attraction of the best mono is the steam roller effect , you are completely flattened - which I don't feel here. Unless volume control caution is abandoned (sorry neighbour)
I do like the heavier vinyl, feels like a 78. It's also nice to have a brand new vinyl. I have had every format of The Beatles, starting with vinyl in 1979. I'm rebuilding my collection and looking forward to getting back what I had. THANK YOU
This re mastered CD is of exceptional sound quality.
If there is anyone else out there who has still not heard all of 'revolver' remedy the situation now. It is terrific.
late 1965 & was completed by Sergeant pepper in 1967.The first of these albums had seen the group enter their mature songwriting phase although instrumentaly was still mostly conventional.Sergeant pepper had an overall concept lots of great songs & sound effects & although a great achievement is a bit uneven in my opinion.I also think that the group were starting to move away from their original style & sound a bit on pepper - starting the
fragmentation that would evolve into inferior solo work as the band began to fall apart.Revolver in the middle
is the best of the 3 for 3 reasons - 1) It has the most consistent songwriting.2)It is the inception for most of
the more complex musical developments and stylistic innovations the group ever made,(whilst still remarkably,remaining true to the the groups classic style) & 3)It is their most diverse collection.No record
collection should be without a copy.
The vinyl was purchased new when it was a new release, so there is a lot a nostalgia for me here, so it is difficult to give an unbiased assessment of the music.
The recording is only a marginal improvement on the previous version in my opinion, but I am completing a collection of the 2009 versions.
We get that lovely label on the vinyl itself: the same Parlophone logo in black/yellow-super! - the STEREO logo as well, ok, so were not going to get a flip-back cardboard cover, being realistic-would that be expected after well over 40 years?!? the opportunity to have these vinyl formats is heaven to me and a very happy customer I am!
