In contrast, the new stereo mix strives to deliver a bit more of that balanced feel, akin to the original mono mix. One of three songs on the album by George, in “Taxman” he expresses his frustration with the UK’s ‘super-rich’ tax rate at the time (90%), with a vocal wink to the “Batman” TV theme song.

Revolver (Super Deluxe) - Burning Shed

All the new Revolver releases feature the album’s new stereo mix, sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes. Chockful of rare and previously unpublished photos, handwritten lyrics, original reel tape-storage boxes, and recording notes as well as 1966 print ads, the book also includes extracts from Voormann’s graphic novel, birth of an icon, REVOLVER. Speaking to Rolling Stone in July 2021, Martin said that the software was "getting a lot better" and that he was "constantly looking at how we could approach it if I ever get to [remix] Revolver or Rubber Soul, early albums, which a lot of people want me to do". On 28th October, 'Revolver' will be released worldwide in a range of beautifully presented, newly-mixed and expanded Special Edition packages. Revolver’s Special Edition also features John’s home demo for the song and Take 15 – Backing track rehearsal, with its introductory speech revealing convivial banter between The Beatles as they worked out the arrangement (later praised by composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein as “remarkable” with “real inventions”).The younger Martin wisely doesn’t calibrate the records for 21st-century ears by adding modern polish and trickery. Revolver’s sweeping new Special Edition follows the universally acclaimed remixed and expanded Special Editions of Sgt.

Revolver Special Edition (Super Deluxe) review The Beatles: Revolver Special Edition (Super Deluxe) review

Having received George’s help to create a whole new song from some unfinished fragments, John led the group through the rehearsals and recording while the clock ticked away the last remaining session time. I’m happy about this new Super Deluxe Revolver 4LP/1EP box set, hands down — and I think you will be too! Previous boxsets from Universal or Capitol used Rainbo pressing and suffered through poor pressings- particularly the solo John Lennon titles. In the original stereo mix, the quartet was locked in the middle with vocals on either channel, so it’s just wonderful hearing this spread out more naturally. This is a big deal, as most of this music has never been released, though seven Revolver-era tracks did appear in the Anthology series back in the 1990s, so there is some potential overlap.To promote the reissue, the new mix for the album's opening track, " Taxman", was released as a preview. Along with the restoration of the original album artwork by Voormann, the record sleeve that holds the session outtakes features Robert Freeman's proposed cover design, featuring the heads of the Beatles in a psychedelic circle. Overdubs included an additional harmony vocal by Paul, omitted from the released version but now faded up in a mix of Take 7. However, those of us who were totally knocked out by the precise detailing of The Beatles In Mono box (with its reproduction of the very different folded-over tab-type construction of the original UK Beatles records) might have to reset one’s expectations a bit, as these are more standard, modern constructs.
