catman Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 G'day all, as a bit of an antidote to these crazy times, I've been listening to a couple of my lesser heard albums of late and this morning it was an old mono vinyl copy of the Beatles 1966 'Revolver' album I have. I particularly like the mono mix of this album because most of the tracks are mixed somewhat differently to the standard stereo issue. Certainly it was a 'transitional' album with interesting new sounds from The Beatles, showing the mark of the 'acid' experience, especially on John Lennon's songwriting. A pretty good album actually. Regards, Felix. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Felix. I'm not a huge fan of the Beatles. Me! I'm for every chasing new stuff. But l admire and respect what they have bought to the table. I have the Anthology Cds, which l bought when they first came out. But l think I've played them twice. But if l was to purchase a record. The White Album does it for me.

georgepapa Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Rubber Soul and Revolver were the peak of the Beatles pop era. From then on they moved into their masterpiece albums - Sgt Peppers, The White Album, Magical Mystery Tour and Abbey Road which were all richly produced studio/ George Martin enhanced albums coinciding with the band ceasing live performances.

Terry Beard Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I personally think A Hard Days Night is their best album but I can't fault Revolver at all. The greatest band ever at their creative peak. There is simply nothing like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warweary Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I don't much like revolver, but today found myself tearing up during John Lennon's "Oh Yoko!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warweary Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 The very next song "Angela" is far worse than "Oh Yoko", but hey each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
