Revolver

The Beatles need no introduction. Revolver is a classic album. This was the album where the fully formed FAB FOUR had really found their feet Bothe as artists and writers- no more cover versions of American Girl Groups or Motown hits. This remastered edition sounds excellent across the board. Sixty years since it was first released with improved playback technology it now becomes possible to hear what the band actually wanted fans to hear. The only problem is that with the ability to hear that detail we can now hear where the joins are as we are closer to revealing how the sausage was made. The Beatles were ahead of their time regarding composition and experimentation with studio techniques which were revolutionary and almost impossible to achieve at the time. I don't think we can improve upon this production/mastering/mix without destroying the integrity of the original project.

A Really Great Album, and a great addition to any record collection, a really Great Pressing.

I Have been a Beatles fan since I was a teenager away back in the 1960s. Bought all their LPs and singles then. These records have all become tired and so I decided to replace them with fresh LPs which have been remixed and reproduced in stereophonic sound. They sound amazing which gives me the same thrill I enjoyed when I first herd them 60 plus years ago. The Beatles are still the number one group.

bought as a gift ... he was thrilled

I wish they would stop releasing Beatles stuff. It costs me money!!!! I own all so forced to buy 'cos I don't have it. (only joking) They have done a cracking job as it sounds really good. The only down side is the clarity and separation. 'That is what it is all about' you may ask. It isn't. John Lennon wanted all Beatles in mono and I understand why. The Beatles were 'a great little band'....unquote. What has happened here is so much separation and clarity they don't sound like a band thus defeating the object. I don't agree with the mono bit but there is a limit. I understand it sounds detremental but not meant to be. It is great to hear things so clearly. I can listen to the original and this so it is a bonus. Soundwise it is fabulous but it won't be my first choice when deciding which version to play. There is always the mono button? (never going to do it)

Good pressing of classic LP.

perfect for my brother who loved the beatles. no scratches or nothing wrong with any of it. overall a good purchase for a good price.

Great sound for the Giles Martin remix. Good pressing. No surface noise or extraneous noises. Star removed as late shipping. Was preordered for delivery when released. Arrived 2 weeks after release

I am so over lousy vinyl pressings. I am also so over engaging with Amazon to remedy the issue. It's not so much a time thing but I have had so many ordinary records I feel like it's me committing some crime by wanting a faulty record dealt with. I actually don't like having to take time to go through the issue again or to repackaged or to return it to the post office. The nearest collection point is a 150 km journey. It costs a lot to buy vinyl. The quality does not reflect the relative cost. It's about time record companys looked after their customers and actually their artists too. I wished I knew before hand where this amazing record was manufactured as I would probably have avoid it because the amount of records I have had with flaws or just record scuffs or dust or residual paper is huge. This one has a pressing flaw right at the very end of side one. Not the end of the world but it is audible and it shouldn't be there. Sadly I can't be bothered to engage with Amazon to remedy it.

This review is for the vinyl version of the 2022 remix on vinyl. The remix by Giles Martin is amazing to my ears. I heard it first on a 24-bit stream but like it even better on vinyl. My 5-star review is for the remix and the sound of the vinyl. However, I'm sorry to report that the pressings I received all were flawed. I tried three different copies and gave up. Two of the three were severely warped, one bad enough to cause the stylus of my Ortofon Blue to skip on "Good Day Sunshine". Another was badly off center on side one. The other issues were flaws that created loud repeated pops and noise. You could see in the vinyl that there were issues and sure enough you could hear.it. I'll still seek out a copy but not sure where to obtain one.

Comme beaucoup le savent c'est encore une évolution et une révolution , plus un best of à lui seul ainsi que chaque album.

"Revolver". Co tu dużo mówić, album wybitny, a nowa "wersja" brzmi zjawiskowo (warto mieć również tę z 1966).

I had heard so many complaints about the pressing quality of this album on Amazon, I delayed buying it. But when the price suddenly dropped so much I figure it's at the best price it'll ever be, I took the chance. Thank you Amazon notifications! When I first put the disk on my turntable, there was a lot of small white particles on it, but they were easily removed with a good record brush. Just dust, really. It's completely flat with no visible flaws and no audio problems at all. The only flaw is that the centre hole is too small, and I had to force it down onto the spindle. It did finally seat properly. In fact after playing both sides, it already seems less of a problem. It's just a hair-width of extraneous soft vinyl, and it might go away with use. I've read that's easily fixed with a 7.3mm drill bit, turned BY HAND to pick off any extraneous vinyl. DON'T EVEN THINK OF USING A POWER DRILL. You're just removing tiny flashings of vinyl that weren't cleaned at the factory. I've also been advised by an expert that a few turns with an American #2 pencil can do the trick. And if you're fanatical about tools, there is a tool made specifically for the job, the Turntable Lab stable 33.33. It's over $50 bucks on Amazon US and Canada, at least. Anyhow, I thought of giving the record a 4-star rating, because of the centre hole problem, but it really hasn't lessened my enjoyment. Five stars - the music is simply great. Other reviewers have highlighted pressing problems by Optimal Media of Germany at their GZ Media pressing plant in Czechia, named in a small sticker on the back. My copy doesn't have the sticker that lists them; in fact my copy is by Parlophone, a German record company founded in the late 19th century, whose UK subsidiary pioneered the first releases by the Beatles, Cilla Black, Billy J. Kramer, the Fourmost, and the Hollies. Seems like this recording has returned to the beginning, and the problems hopefully are over. There's absolutely nothing in the sleeve but the record itself. None of the usual photos and comments to enhance the experience. Not a problem; the music speaks for itself. If you want to know all about what went into the recording, in excruciating detail, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolver_(Beatles_album)#Reissues Revolver is the last album the Beatles made while they were still a touring band, and it really shines through. They were thinking ahead to when they'd devote most of their time in the studio, and apparently they experimented with a few studio enhancements, but for the most part it's the kind of performance they would have liked to have given, if the screaming fans had let them. There's no other performers or strange studio effects. With Giles Martin's brilliant 2022 remix, it really sounds like the four of them on a stage, singing together and playing one instrument each. Some reviewers call it their best album ever, better than Sgt. Pepper. I've got ALL their albums; Revolver completes the set, and I can't really argue with that! If, like me, you've been waiting to buy this record, it seems like the time has come.
