Following the worldwide success of 'Let It Be,' Apple Corps and USM are proud to present the next multi-format reissue of The Beatles' Album 'Revolver.'

The Beatles' 7th studio Album was released on August 5, 1966, featuring the double A-side single 'Eleanor Rigby' / 'Yellow Submarine.' The unexpected gift of a three-month break at the beginning of 1966 meant that they were ready to record their most groundbreaking Album in April of the same year. An Album that would redefine the way artists write and record their songs, and with the help of uniquely talented producers and engineers who wanted to help them realize their dreams, would change the way the world viewed Albums as standalone creative works. The studio and advancing recording technology led to Revolver and the birth of a new era in Rock and pop music.

However, there was one area where technology was not as advanced: multi-tracking. At that time, many instruments and vocal elements were combined or 'broken down' into only 4 tracks, which had to be turned into two tracks for stereo recording. The mono Album (from the original mono master tape), included in this box set, was considered by the band and many others at the time as the primary format in which most people would listen to Revolver. It was easy to mix the 4 tracks for the final Album, but it wasn't as easy to achieve this in stereo. They couldn't separate the individual instruments or vocals to create an authentic stereo field. The result was always considered the best that was possible at the time, but not as good as fans would have liked to hear it.

Until now.

By using AI technology developed by Peter Jackson's Wingnut team to clearly and distinctly sound the studio scenes in the Get Back documentary series, Giles Martin quickly realized that this could be a way to 'decode' the 4-track tapes and separate the instruments from each other to create what was previously impossible. With the help and use of time, computer resources, and a very clever and dedicated team, the 4 tracks gradually became multitracks, allowing us to finally release this truly stunning, exciting, and groundbreaking remix of Revolver. We are proud and happy to finally be able to present the mono Album in stereo!

In addition, there is the familiar high-quality, well-researched, and comprehensive 100-page book that tells the story of the Album's recording, track by track, as well as the band's situation in 1966 and the Album's reception and later life. With a personal introduction by Paul McCartney and one by Giles Martin, this book also offers an incredible personal journey into Revolver and beyond by Questlove, the modern music genius. Alongside many photos, handwritten lyrics, and cassette boxes, we are delighted to be able to include pages from Klaus Voorman's graphic novel - a friend of the band since Hamburg, bassist, and graphic artist - in which he tells the story of how he was asked to create the Grammy-winning cover and how he created another first for this Album - the unique cover art created specifically for an Album.
