The Beatles Revolver (Special Edition) LP (Picture Disc)

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 11/500!

From "Taxman" to "Tomorrow Never Knows," The Beatles' Revolver has been newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and Sam Okell and 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.

Sonically the results of the demixed and rebuilt Revolver are profound. Any skepticism on my part vanished within a few seconds of the stylus touching the groove. Revolver packs much more rhythmic muscle and imaging cohesiveness compared with the original stereo. The laid-back passiveness is gone and replaced by the assertive one-punch thrust of the mono mix—except in full-bodied stereo. The new mix sits comfortably, even naturally, between the speakers. The center of the soundstage—once almost vacant of music given the hard right/left panning—has been restored... For the fans that have asked if only The Beatles could be heard without the technical roadblocks imposed during that era, this Revolver is for you. Yes, the original mono mixes still hold up well, but the new stereo version of Revolver is an achievement that can't be praised enough. As for the original stereos, they are now respected artifacts and collectibles to be relegated to the LP rack.
