YES! The Beatles’ Revolver has been rereleased as a field set, and with it comes surprises, treasures and pleasure past perception. It’s a return to all of the music that stuffed my angst-ridden 16-year-old soul and raised me up each time I performed it and checked out Klaus Voorman’s intriguing album cowl. (What an incredible departure in fashion and tone from the music commerce. It made me need to draw and do collage, too.)
From The Guardian: “A bonus disc on the brand new, expanded, remixed and remastered field set of 1966’s Revolver provides an much more transformative expertise: a jaw-dropping sequence of ‘Yellow Submarine’ work tapes traces the tune’s evolution from a fragile, unhappy wisp sung by John Lennon to its later iteration as a Ringo Starr-directed psych-pop goof. That the band steered ‘Yellow Submarine’ from morose people trifle to boisterous stoner singalong appears unbelievable, however the tapes don’t lie: By means of a mix of centered acoustic woodshedding and eccentric studio dangers, the band arrived on the extra acquainted, upbeat ‘Yellow Submarine.’”
I noticed the poster promoting Revolver on my native vacant lot post-no-bills hoarding and couldn’t maintain again my enthusiasm. I ran dwelling as quick as my arthritic leg would transfer to see whether or not the field set I’d preordered had arrived. So if I appear out of breath, and sound Beatlemanical, it’s as a result of I’m. (And no! It hadn’t arrived.)
So I went into the closet and pulled out my Klaus Voorman autographed copy of the German launch of Revolver, which he gave me after we met in Munich years in the past. And which I reproduce under as a result of I merely need to have fun all the things Beatles.
What’s extra: Even when the field set had arrived immediately, I don’t have a CD participant or turntable at dwelling. So I plan on driving round Manhattan all week in my automotive, which has a CD participant, as I hear as many instances as potential to the 5 discs. (Or perhaps I’ll simply take heed to the songs right here.)
