Title: Beatles Revolver Remix
Post by Glenn on 11/04/22 at 17:34:45

I have been spinning Beatles of late.

It's been a great time to be a Beatles fan over the last few years with the remixes of Sgt. Pepper to Abbey Road.

But the unexpected remix of Revolver, to my ears, is particularly game changing. For headphone listeners - the improvement from the heavy L/R panning of the old master is enough of a reason to listen. But as one who loves speakers, the change in this remix is equally enthralling. The music comes alive and pops like it was recorded, dare i say . . . yesterday and not All Those Years Ago. Instruments and effects previously buried now come alive on the sound stage. And the bass and drums . . . . wow.

Anyway, if you are a fan of the Beatles and have not given the Giles Martin remix a try - you must. Beatles + Giles Martin + Decware = a whole new listening experience.

Let me know what you think.

I don't always listen to The Beatles but when I do I prefer:

That said, and even though I'm more of a Rubber Soul guy than Revolver I'll take a chance on this. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for the review, Glenn.

I’ve been reading about this new release for months, and have been waiting eagerly to hear it. So cool that the latest technology allows for the step up in SQ - so long as it is not changed in a bad way. With the late George Martin, and now Giles, it is a labor of love, and a family affair, so you just know it is going to be done correctly.

Also, this is a great example of how important listing your equipment is. When I read a review like this, I immediately look at the equipment used to achieve the reviewed result.

Best,

Geno

Awesome!
I ordered a little late, so mine is not here yet.

... and I can't even seem to locate it for stream.

I am an enthusiastic Beatles fan.
Whatever, I'll join the meal, late to the table as is usual for me.

Round 8-9 years ago my wife's grandfather passed. He left everyone a small amount of cash. My wife told me to buy something I otherwise wouldn't. 309.99 later I got The Beatles Mono vinyl box. Little did I know I was choosing something that would skyrocket in price.

Anyhow, you guys got me motivated enough to pull it off the shelf. Revolver and Rubber Soul are in tonight's queue. I rarely put the Beatles on when I "sit down" to listen. The red and blue sets get a good amount of play on other systems, I NEED these kids to get off on a good foot! Even 1 gets some play, I like playing this "one" ~~backwards~~ from the end to the beginning.

Mono mixes were the band approved final results and the format (until the white lp) that the engineer recorded for, so you’re building upon the proper foundation.
And yet, the use of Peter Jackson's AI software to pull instruments out of the mono four tracks so they can be spread into true stereo elevates Revolver to a new and wonderful place. It is a glorious recreation of a revolutionary recording and a true success for Giles Martin showcasing the skills of Geoff Emerick's engineering.
Peter Noone was recording at EMI at the same time and drifted down to the Beatles sessions and panicked; returning to Herman’s Hermits session he told his band mates they had to get their record out immediately because once Revolver was out it would be game over. He was correct.
