Related: About this forum49 years ago today, The Beatles released "Revolver"
The first song recorded for this ground breaking album was "Tomorrow Never Knows" and while I love the whole album there isn't another track on it which can match the hypnotically unique use of tape loops, Harrison's tamboura and the orchestral voicings. One whole song that stays on "C" opened our minds with its fusion of technology, music and the spiritual.

A Lennon song, but one of the rare songs where all four Beatles collaborated on to make it groundbreaking.
I have several versions of Revolver including the most recent Beatles In Mono and U.S Album release, not to mention the standard UK album and Anthology tracks.
I love listening to the differences, mostly thanks to the true Fifth Beatle, George Martin.

They really rocked our world, and on it goes - "within you and without you"!

Lyrics not up there with some of their others, but that is some damn fine music.

(2,672 posts)as my record collection will attest. My prized collection is The Beatles 14 LP MFSL Box Set which I've only played twice. Once straight and once high as a kite.
I really miss the 60's and early to mid 70's.
