The Beatles have announced plans to release special editions of their iconic 1966 album Revolver.
On October 28, Revolver will be released worldwide in a range of beautifully presented, newly mixed and expanded Special Edition packages by Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe.
The Special Editions’ new stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes of the album’s opening track “Taxman” made their digital release debut with Wednesday’s announcement and preorder launch.
The album’s 14 tracks have been newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell in stereo and Dolby Atmos, and the album’s original mono mix is sourced from its 1966 mono master tape.
All the new Revolver releases feature the album’s new stereo mix, sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes.
Revolver Special Edition (Super Deluxe) consists of 63 tracks, Revolver Special Edition (Deluxe) has 29 tracks, and Revolver Special Edition (Standard) includes 14 tracks.
Spinning popular music off its axis and ushering in a vibrant new era of experimental, avant-garde sonic psychedelia, Revolver brought about a cultural sea change and marked an important turn in The Beatles’ creative evolution.
With Revolver, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr set sail together across a new musical sea.
