A special edition of Revolver is set to be released next month.
It is the latest Beatles album to be re-released as a remixed and expanded deluxe box set following Sgt. Pepper’s in 2017, the ‘White Album’ in 2018, Abbey Road in 2019 and Let It Be last year.
First released in August 1966, this new configuration includes a range of newly mixed and expanded special edition packages.
All 14 tracks on the original album have been newly mixed by Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell in stereo and Dolby Atmos, while the album’s original mono mix has been sourced from its 1966 mono master tape.
The physical and digital ‘super deluxe’ collections also feature the album’s original mono mix, 28 early takes from the sessions and three home demos. There is also a four-track EP with new stereo mixes and remastered original mono mixes for “Paperback Writer” and “Rain“.
The Revolver special edition will be available in three formats – Super Deluxe, Deluxe and Standard – and will be released on vinyl, CD and digitally. All of the collections will be released on October 28, with pre-order available now.
You can see the full Revolver tracklist, and listen to a new mix of “Taxman“, below.
