Revolver

Product Information

Revolver has appeared high up in many lists of the best albums ever made, [401] [433] often in the top position. [434] [435] It was voted the third best album of all time in the 1998 "Music of the Millennium" poll [436] conducted by HMV and Channel 4, [437] and in the following year's expanded survey, which polled 600,000 people across the UK. [438] [439] Also in 1998, it was ranked first in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums, directly ahead of Sgt. Pepper and The Beatles, [440] and it was first again in the 2000 edition of the book. [441] [442] Q placed it at number 1 in its list of the "50 Greatest British Albums Ever" in 2000; [443] [444] four years later, the album topped the same magazine's list "The Music That Changed the World". [445] In 2001, it topped VH1's "100 Greatest Albums", [445] [446] compiled from a poll of more than 500 journalists, music executives and artists. [447] In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked Revolver third on its list of the " 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", [448] [449] a position it retained on the magazine's revised list nine years later.

While recognising it as the inspiration for the Moody Blues' 1968 album In Search of the Lost Chord, Everett says that Revolver 's most profound influence on the Beatles' contemporaries was through "its general emancipation from Western pop norms of melody, harmony, instrumentation, formal structure, rhythm, and engineering". [418]

The album's title, like that of Rubber Soul, is a pun, [76] referring to both a kind of handgun and the "revolving" motion of a record as it plays on a turntable. [304] Gould views the title as a " McLuhanesque pun", since, more so than on their previous albums, the focus of Revolver appears to rotate from one Beatle to another with each song. [282] [nb 24] Given the quality control issues (fair-at-best vinyl pressing, sometimes-poorly-researched book essay) Despite its origins as an innocent children's song, "Yellow Submarine" was adopted by the counterculture as a song promoting drugs, namely the barbiturate Nembutal.

According to Schaffner, one of the album's few detractors was Jonathan King, an English "pop-star-turned-pundit" who dismissed it as "pseudo-intellectual rubbish".

I spoke to Giles last year about mixing The Beatles and I specifically asked him about Revolver and whether the so-called ‘de-mixing’ technology was good enough to allow him to remix the 1966 album. His answer suggested not, but he left the door open for it to happen: The Editors of Rolling Stone (2002). Harrison. New York, NY: Rolling Stone Press. ISBN 978-0-7432-3581-5. It’s not entirely true. Part of what makes Revolver appealing is that it’s as much “Yellow Submarine” and the domestic sweetness of “Here, There and Everywhere” as it is “She Said She Said” and “Tomorrow Never Knows.” But Dylan’s point was well-taken: For a band that put out “I Want to Hold Your Hand” less than three years earlier, the relative complexity of Revolver—in both sound and subject matter—not only challenged The Beatles’ image as the pop band the whole family could agree on (as opposed to, say, The Rolling Stones), but it also put pop on a course toward unfamiliar horizons.
