REVOLVER

Revolver is the first Beatles album that paved the way to psychedelic rock..Released on August 5,1966,this is the album where George Harrison's compositions became more prominent.

Unlike its predecessor Rubber Soul,Revolver is more crisp in sound and the songs were more experimental like "Tomorrow Never Knows"-considered to be one of the first psychedelic rock songs and the raucous guitar sounds by the songs "She Said She Said" and "And Your Bird Can Sing".And also the feedbacky guitar solo of the album's first track "Taxman" provides a starking contrast to the softer sound of Rubber Soul-though one Harrison composition from the latter called "Think For Yourself" featured Paul McCartney on fuzz bass.

This is the last Beatles album to be butchered by Capitol Records and in 1988 the original British edition was issued by EMI Parlophone to the United States and the US version of the album was deleted,unifying the worldwide catalogue.The album went straight to the number one spot of Billboard's album charts proving once again that the Beatles were on top of rock n'roll fame on this planet.
