“Revolver” marked a turning point for The Beatles.
Brash and bold, yet also filled with sensitivity, the 1966 album ushered in the band's penchant for musical unpredictability that would continue to develop through “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” (which they began recording later that year) and “The White Album” (1968).
The 14-track album has received a grand remixing by producer Giles Martin – son of legendary Beatles producer George Martin – and engineer Sam Okell.
The special edition of “Revolver” arrives Oct. 28. But among the trove of unearthed gems are demos of “Yellow Submarine” as a drastically stripped-down ballad featuring John Lennon on plaintive vocals rather than a singsong Ringo Starr and the high-hat heavy backdrop on early versions of “Got to Get You Into My Life.” Both are available Friday and can be heard here:
