Great video all around. One note, Paul’s bass on Rain was overdubbed later on at the slower pace. Guitars and drums were recorded at the faster speed. Jeff Emerick’s book talks about it. They recorded Paul’s bass later on and with one speaker going into another, or PA, speaker. So, on the new Gyles’ original speed version includes Paul’s overdub, which now sounds faster.

After two listens I've found more and more things that I haven't heard in the past. Paul's bass lines are insane. The bottom on Dr Robert is great. I'm Only Sleeping is fantastic. I mean, the bass line has so many flourishes. Tomorrow Never Knows is the highlight... Just incredible Your review was pretty accurate. I haven't found anything I've been disappointed with. I will say "Thank you Giles!"

Serious question, why is anyone paying good money for minor, almost imperceptible changes? I just don't get how many Beatles fans will pay over and over for the same music re-packaged and re-mastered. The Anthology series was worth buying because they were different versions. I've got Revolver on cd and I'm perfectly happy with it.

Thanks for an engaging whistle stop tour through the new box set, Andrew. I thoroughly enjoyed your song by song thoughts. I’ve been listening to 2009 stereo and mono CD versions in preparation, and though I wasn’t taking notes as you’ve done for your channel, I did hear many differences, some very subtle, some much less so. Your comments are really helpful as a pointer to what to listen out for next time I listen to a disc. It’s hard to absorb the whole sound picture of one song, let alone the whole set, when hearing this set anew, so it’s good to have your commentary, too. I’ve got a few vinyl versions, and I’m really looking forward to the vinyl box when that lands. FWIW, My go to stereo vinyl is the BC-13 Blue Box version, and my favourite mono vinyl is an early pressing in a rather battered sleeve, but plays superbly. Peace.

😁 I've got to say, this package is revelatory in many ways. From what I've listened to of the 2022 remixes on both headphone and speakers and I am not sure I can hear it any other way. Giles Martin & Co. did an amazing thing here and hit a homerun right out of the park. This sounds like it could have been recorded this year. I absolutely ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍 LOVE this mix. I enjoyed your summary and pretty much agree with you on most, some disagree, but each has his own ears.

Many people debate what's 'the' best version of each Beatles album. It makes sense, especially with all the new remixes that came out in the last 5 years. However, I'm mostly grateful to have several options available: I love the 2009 remasters, the recent mono CD/vinyl reissues and adore the songtrack compilation, which is proudly shining at your wall. What a blessing to be able to say: today it's the songtrack or a Giles Martin remix or a 2009 CD, etcetera. At first, I had my problems with the Sgt Peppers 2017 remix, even more so with the 2018 White Album. So, I passed those boxsets. However, being a fan and being curious, I bought the 2019 Abbey Road box set and fell in love with that remix. The same happened with the excellent Let It Be reissue from last year. And yes, it forced me to re-listen the 2017 Sgt Pepper reissue. I finally love it and ordered the box set, years after it being released. What was I missing then? Is it that my ears and mind needed more time to adjust to a rather different version, that I got used to with? I don't know. But what I can say to the people who still find it difficult to embrace the newer remixes: give it time, try it again and be aware of that you can always pick a different version, if you want to. I'm even more so looking forward to the new box set, especially after hearing the 'Got To Get You Into My Life' second take, which is splendid I agree. The short Yellow Submarine demo, is very emotional. A reminder of the fact that the Beatles not only stand for adventure, joy, pleasure, but melancholy/sadness as well. But it is a kind of sadness that can also warm and comfort us. I think many people around the globe can use a lot of Beatles comfort. So, the Revolver 2022 reissue is coming at the right moment, don't you think? Thank you Andrew, for sharing so much information and celebrating this unique time of being a Beatles fan, with us all. Very appreciated. To all the Beatles fans: have a nice Beatles weekend and upcoming weeks ~Marjet

The stereo master tapes from which the 2009 remasters (NOT "mixes") derive have been played many, MANY times. But the multitrack tapes from which the stereo master was created have only been played a few times. Even more importantly, the new mixes are mixed in the state-of-the-art digital domain where there’s no analogue tape-to-tape transferring and therefore no generation loss in the mixing process. There are many other tricks and subtleties at play, but drawing from that FIRST-generation tapes, that’s the BIG difference. George Martin himself wrote that tape is “an inherently ‘lossy’ medium.” From his book All You Need Is Ears: “When we first got four-track, it was an enormous relief not to have the worries about how many generations of sound quality had been lost which we had suffered in twin-track. But even four tracks are very few. . . . The only way we could get round it was to dub from one four-track to a second four-track - and that, of course, meant losing sound quality.” You hear that folks? Back in those days, the only available means of mixing meant LOSING SOUND QUALITY. Depending on how they’re done, these dubs are called either “bounce downs” or “reduction mixes.” Only a few of the tracks on Revolver involved bounce downs, but even so, drawing the sound from the first-generation four-track tapes makes a big difference. Speaking about later albums, “What I did was to dub from one four-track machine on to another, sometimes not once but twice,” says George Martin. “Harkening back to what I wrote earlier, that would mean, of course, losing up to nine generations of sound quality.” People who maintain that the original mix cannot be improved upon don’t understand how much better the FIRST generation multi-track tapes sound as compared with the second generation stereo master tape. The music isn’t being remixed just for kicks. The music is being remixed because the sound can now be drawn from the original first generation 4- and 8-track session tapes. “Because it’s The Beatles, each of those reels have been kept,” says Abbey Road Studios engineer Matthew Cocker. Eliminating the issue that so concerned George Martin means hearing the Beatles’ music with a clarity and inner detailing that is revelatory. Mastering engineer Miles Showell: “You put those multitracks up, and you hear content you never even knew existed, and at incredible detail.” So, of COURSE the new mixes have improved clarity and inner detail. Of COURSE they do. The question is, have the CDs been ruined by appalling levels of added compression? How can you do a review of the sound quality and not answer that crucial question?

Appreciate the enormous effort you’ve gone to in summing up this forthcoming Revolver box set through the digital medium sonically speaking. Firstly I’m a Beatles fan through and through though I came to appreciate them more long after they had disbanded. Secondly when I first heard about the vinyl box set and it’s contents I felt cheated and a bit suspicious especially the decision to include the Mono version. Why? Well I actually own a later pressing of Revolver and the version from the Mono box set so (a) I couldn’t imagine any kind of an improvement on the Mono version and (b) I wasn’t too enamoured with a yellow submarine shaped bot exploring the depths of the Stereo mix! If it sounds good then who cares but still….. Finally isn’t it ALWAYS the sessions that sell anniversary box sets? In my case I’d be forking out 220 smackers just for this double Lp Session Outtakes. This time I most definitely won’t be thanks to your review Andrew. Then again maybe the vinyl set review might just change my mind? This time I don’t think so…. I’ve just listened to my dog eared copy of Revolver and it sounds bloody great. As does the Mono. I’m happy out 😎

Except for 3 or 4 of the tracks you mentioned, I think the rest would be something I'd only hear a couple times. The bonus CD from the 2 CD set will be a much better listen.

Greatly looking forward to this one, since Revolver is my all-time favorite album, and your review has me even more hyped about it. The whole demixing thing has got me wondering though. Once the tracks have been split out by the super-amazing demixing technology, are we still hearing tracks played and sung by the Beatles... or a just super-high-fidelity recreation of what a computer thinks those individual tracks would sound like? (And yes, I know how silly I sound worrying about that.)

Thanks for your review! what I think is the tracks that are supposed to sound "clean" fare best, She said She Said is completely off where is the Britpop grit on this one?! On the whole I think I will listen to it a couple of times and will revert back to the mono version. Love you To is weird with some strange panning on the Sitar, I enjoy the outtakes though especially the working tapes of Yellow submarines which are highlights. I don't think I will splash the cash on this box set. I will go as far as saying it's probably the worst Giles Martin remix... ok it's clean and it's ok from a clinical point of to hear new elements, but as a "mix" to present the album, not sure about this one...

I’ve just listened to She Said She Said. It’s a weird mix in that the beginning riff is really prominent but then the rest of the song it seems like it’s in the background and the vocals are the main focus. To me it just seems like the riff should have been a main focus. I compared it to the mono version and to be fair, it’s the same. But… you know… if you’re gonna remix it…. remix it. It should sound more like And Your Bird Can Sing but sounds flat compared to that.

Nice review! A shame no sessions for Good Day Sunshine, but other than that, sounds like a great box set! Also wish they included a Blu-ray audio disc like the other sets, but that's a minor quibble. Rain was also in stereo on Past Masters in 1988.

Thank you, insightful and candid as always. Meanwhile, a clavichord is different from a harpsichord in that the strings are hammered iso plucked. Compared to a piano, the acoustic body is small, hence the modest sound. Can’t wait to hear the new Revolver, though it is so expensive!

Hi Andrew, love your analysis and reports. Thank you very much. Comment regarding your summary about best albums Beatles and solo: To me is Abby Road the best Beatles' album and more considering that the Beatles were at their very end. To me is Ram not the best McCartney album, but that of course is a question of taste. Keep up the good work. Best regards, Fred Nijsten The Netherlands

Just listened to mine, it's ok seems an understatement 😂 Highlights for me on the main album are And Your Bird, Tomorrow & Eleanor Rigby. Lows, She said & I'm Only Sleeping, something sounds off & I can't put my finger on it. Also Ringo's drums on Got To Get You sound shallow, the bass has been worked on drums ignored so it all sounds worse to me. Nice to have the stereo/clean versions of Paperback Writer/Rain but I know what I prefer. At the end of it all I put the Mono disc in was blown away & concluded that's still the way to go, you still can't beat it 👍

Clarity and separation is there but for me it misses the original warmth of the original limitations that blended/layering produced. It no longer sounds like it was made in the 60s and could be argued it's a very clever facsimile.

Interesting to note about your comment on the Love You Too demo sounding like something from the All Things Must Pass demos. George also presented Art Of Dying and Isn't It A Pity around this time, so I wonder if in an alternate universe one of those songs ended up on Revolver while Love You Too ended up on All Things Must Pass. 1965-66 seems to have been a great time for George growing as a person and as a songwriter.

“For No One” is going to blow people’s minds! It’s without doubt the greatest impact Martin and Okell have made on a single track. It’s a perfect mix. The drums are finally allowed to carry the song and bring the listener to another dimension. “She Said She Said” is a god awful mix. AI really ruined the juiciness of the guitar tones in the separation process, which made the track less heavy and powerful than it used to be. And panning them on opposite sides was a terrible decision since the track on the left channel features several mistakes that now steal all the focus. “I’m Only Sleeping” is way too bass-heavy, I can’t believe they let that slip. Other than that, I think this is the definite version of Revolver. Probably the greatest remix of the entire catalog so far.

hi andrew i even believe john had the yellow submarine bit in mind as well as the verses its been shown in the new worktape because have you not heard the interview with john when hes talking about an lsd trip he had when he ended up on his own all night with sofa cushions all round him on the floor and he was tripping that he was quote "driving a blue submarine and a green submarine and it felt like it was going above the houses"? i cant see that just being a coincedance or maybe he told that story to paul and paul made it into that chorus but it does appear the whole concept came from john but maybe paul didturn it into that chorus. but thanks for all this review hope to get my vinyl box tomorrow but i have got a cd single for right now and i agree with most of your review
@RemasteringMcCartney_AndreyM
My comments on each of the remixes: Taxman - 9/10. Love how everything sounds more punchier and clearer. Didn't like that the rhythm and lead guitar sound a little too soft Eleanor Rigby - 10/10. The 2022 Mix sounds better than the 2015 Mix by a mile far. The center vocal sounds clearer and less compressed I'm Only Sleeping - 9/10. Never knew that there was this yawning sound around the 2-minute mark Love You To - 10/10 Clearer version. Makes me excited all the more for a remix of Norwegian Wood Here, There and Everywhere - 9/10. Bass sounds better this time. Was disappointed that the percussion sounds a little too soft especially with the crash cymbal Yellow Submarine - 5/10. Disappointed with the placing in the stereo scape compared to the 2015 Mix. Didn't like how the drums are now in the left channel and that the guitar sounds too soft. I however did like that the extra strum at the start was added from the mono version. Probably the only Giles Martin remix I don't like unlike all the other ones which are great. She Said She Said - 9/10. Everything sounds so much spacious. Every instrument has room to breathe. Noticed things with the organ I have never heard before Good Day Sunshine - 10/10. Well-balanced. Every instrument is now clearer. Far better than the original mix. And Your Bird Can Sing - 9/10 Remains faithful to the original 1966 Mix, but sounds clearer this time For No One - 11/10. I cannot stress how much of an improvement this track is compared to the original alongside Taxman. Better stereo panning and the bass drum sounds more audible now Doctor Robert - 10/10. Improved sound. Clearer. I Want To Tell You - 10/10. Drums and Bass are more prominent and the piano is now in stereo. Better. Got To Get You Into My Life - 9/10. Balanced horns this time which is an improvement. The vocals are now more audible. Bass and drum sound better in the center. Can't hear the guitar that much here. Tomorrow Never Knows 8/10. The tape loops now go from left to right and right to left. Vocals are less muddy. The drums and bass sound better. Piano sounds more audible. Kinda wish the reversed guitar solo was ADT'd

As usual, they bungle the remix (they remove the iconic amp hum from the intro? It's a failure from the very first note). Just get it for the outtakes. The "Yellow Submarine" with John singing gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. And hearing "Rain" at it's original speed is pretty interesting. But throw that pathetic remix on top of all the other lousy remixes and, in some cases, remastering that they've been doing since the 90s. Happy for the outtakes though! If some dummy is going to substitute this piece of garbage for the original, they don't know what "Revolver" is. Sorry, but Giles Martin ain't his dad or the original EMI staff that worked on these recordings.

Hi - I would say overall Im less impressed with this than the other re-mixes, but its still good. I was impressed with "Good day shunshine", even though its one of my least favourites, because of its clarity and the piano right side is much better sounding. - But, I didn't like the new version of "Rain". I feel that this track, in its original form, is kind of "other worldly"and the vocals are best in with the mix. But here on the new version, I felt the vocal was too loud. But I did like the clarity on the right side Tamborine.

Hi Andrew.......I'm just listening to your synopsis of the Revolver offerings and you are doing a great job, I can't get over the amount of unboxings that all my favourite RU-vidrs have been doing of the vinyl and cd super deluxe Revolver sets, I thought Friday 28th October was when it's supposed to come out but it seems it's been out for at least a week already......I think I'll pop down to my HMV store tomorrow in Doncaster and see if they've got their consignment in.....All the best Andrew 🍷👍👌 PS That's a nice little touch they do on the front cover of the box when you hold it up to the light and magically the word Revolver and the Parlophone motif appears as if by magic when it l👀ks like it's just blank.......Can't wait for your next videos 🍷👍👌

I’ve got the 2009 release. I think that’s enough for me. At this point, I would just like more McCartney Archive sets. London Town, Back to the Egg, Broadstreet and Press to Play are all in much greater need of remastering, plus there are so many great Paul solo tracks that have not been officially released yet. There is all that stuff from Rupert and Return to Pepperland. I figure it will all come out eventually, but I wonder how much older we will all be.

I have only the 80s cd versions of London Town and BTTE and I think the 90s cds are really expensive now if you can find them. I do have the 90s release for Press to Play but I’m thinking that a better remastering might be done with today’s technology. But maybe not. I didn’t notice any difference between the new Flaming Pie and the 1997 version. Main desire for me has always been completed, unreleased tracks, e.g. Waterspout, Cage, Yvonne, Lindiana, etc.

@@reactivearmour5126 Absolutely right. We need these reissues as soon as possible! Flaming Pie always sounded great, can’t find any differences between the original 1997 release and the Archive Edition, too. But the second disc of demos and outtakes are worth the price.
