    I was lucky enough to see an exhibition by Klaus Voormann here in Lüneburg, where the original newspaper cuttings he used for the cover were on display. Well, he must have known even back then that it was something special, that it was worth keeping.

    I'm going back in time. It's 1966. I'm in The Whiskey A Go-Go on the Sunset Strip. Tomorrow Never Knows is blasting through the PA. Flashing lights and psychedelic liquid projection. I see a go-go dancer in a cage, dressed in a belly dance costume and face paint. Is that you Abigail ?!!??

    With the album Rubber Soul, the Beatles opened the door to experimentation and unique sounds. With Revolver, they kicked open the door the rest of the way 😀

    George looks so much like Keith Richard on the back cover, that I used to wonder if it was really Keith. It would be like The Beatles to play little jokes on us fans, to see if anyone noticed.
    I’ve really been into Revolver this past week. It always brings back the vibes of that strange dangerous summer of ‘66. The Paint It Black summer.

    Yes very cool 😊 Fave Beatles album for many reasons. Got To Get You Into My Life sounds great with guitars playing the main parts instead of the horn section (although I do like the horns even though a little harsh). It’s a pity there’s no proper finished mix with All the guitars doing it, only the version on the deluxe Revolver box. Great review!!

    Revolver is the Quantum Leap, Rubber Soul the false marketing stealing credit From Help album, Though dizzy miss Lizzy ruins the flow, Help is the turning point the actual album which started the change, Rubber Soul is simply in the middle, Revolver is the real Quantum Leap, and i ended up hating the 180⁰ twist on sgt pepper's

    I was 11 when the album came out. My parents were jazz snobs, but mom’s younger co-workers were raving about the New Beatle record. She bought the record and we all sat and listened to side 2. The folks laughed it off, handed me the record and said, “Take it to your room.” Score. Meanwhile, your video was great, as usual.

    the production really lets the research shine about this complex album, and the earrings are nice too. not to belittle this fine work. this adds to my ever-present enjoyment of this fine album, where both the complexity and simplicity of the artistic statement makes me grateful for the playback equipment that let's me hear the finer nuances in the groove. I hope that everyone with an appreciation of recorded music will someday have a fine playback capability.

    You got something solid in Capricorn, or a powerful Saturn Gemini? You reverence for the historical record at this point is a support valve for instigating a revival of craft worthy art, as cats like me serve as sonic libraries we took in as infants rolling around in cars with the radio on, mid to late 70's. Computer music sucks. Maybe it's because Revolver entered my phones junior year high school, 1990, same time as Sailing The Seas Of Cheese by Primus. No wonder I enjoy greatly that the legacy of this disc includes John's son collaborating with Les Claypool. King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes, Rush and Led Zeppelin all came into my multi instrumental musicianship the first time my nodes reset, age 18.5 peak 1992.

    I'm seeing more romance and humor in She Said. John was a romantic guy, a funny guy, and had an inquiring mind. Had he met Yoko before he wrote She Said? Is he singing about a girl/woman with Yoko's cool, and knowing point of view? I think it's the best song on Revolver. TNK is an outlier – a signpost in a class of it's own.

    In 1969, at age 13, I heard the Beatles' McCartney tune For No One in a dream. Afterward, I spent months trying to figure out what this song was & where I'd heard it. Finding no answer, I decided I mind made it up, so I wrote down as much as I could remember & mailed it to myself (poor man's copywrite). Then, a few years later, I bought the album Revolver … & there it was, a completed Beatles tune. I was crestfallen.
