They may haven't recognized Andrew as one of the best of the best of Beatles' content, but he's got one thing the others don't: Rare memorabilia.

When I was 13 and heard Revolver for the first time, I thought this is brilliant until I got to "Tomorrow Never Knows", I thought they (The Beatles) had gone bonkers. I didn't like it at at all, but it turned into an earworm and I just had to keep going back to listen to it over and over again, volume on full. My mum thought I was nuts.

I think it's disgusting EMI didn't provide you with a free pre-release version. This channel is excellent!

Thanks Andrew, the Italian label looks pretty cool!

I had a Russian version of Revolver in the 90's. Wonderful memories. Thanks a lot, Andrew

At 53 seconds what a great album chart with a third of them and four of them in the top five still, 56 years later, regarded amongst the greatest lps of all time

Another great video, Andrew! As with most of us Yanks, my 1st Revolver was the 11 track LP on the orange Capitol label. Not until I got the BC13 box set did I hear the true Revolver in all its glory. Can't wait for my box set!😁😁

Cool seeing the 1st Mexican pressing on the old late 50s-early 60s Capitol rainbow label!

These videos of yours Andrew, are dangerously engaging! Each one is like a voyage into a lost past....and so very much appreciated. Cheers!

“Capitol Knows Best” starring Dave Dexter as Mr Echo

One of my favourite Beatles record, Andrew. Cheers, Nelio.

I hope the Beatles test pressing tone gets a remix and 5.1 Blu-Ray release.

Another great episode! Thanks Andrew. Regarding the US Revolver; it should have at least been issued with 12 tracks, as Rubber Soul had. “Rain” could have at least been added to give John three songs.

Yet another great video, Andrew! Champing at the bit for the box set which hopefully will be the final word on Revolver.

Having compared TNK RM11 to the usual mono mix, I think I prefer RM11 - seems punchier somehow. Thank you for this very informative (as are all the others!) episode.

Great Video Andrew!! I have four copy’s of Revolver 1972 German oden blue label Captiol 1966 mono 1978 purple label stereo. And the 2009 vinyl of the uk stereo mix.

Thanks so much for all the Revolver coverage Andrew! Love it! To me anyway, the most important and influential album made! So many new innovations introduced on this album etc. I feel this album allowed the Beatles to make Sgt. Peppper. Without out Revolver, Sgt Pepper would not have been quite as influential as it is (yes Sgt Pepper is influential). I love Sgt Pepper. I love all Beatles music! This is just my personal observation and my research through the years. Everyone will have their own idea of what is the best etc. That's why it's so fun to talk to other Beatles fans who have a different take. I enjoy hearing why they think this album or that album is their preferred Beatles album!

Great video Andrew!
I just picked up the 1972 Singapore pressing that replaces Yellow Submarine with Your Mother Should Know.
Always nice to find those types of pressings out in the wild!

Brilliant and interesting, as usual, Andrew. I revised for my mock "O" levels listening to it over and over on my new Danstte. I've been a big fan ever since and have collected all their records ever since.

[ederbofete]

Hi Andrew, how you doin'?

There's an interesting information about the Brazillian version of Revolver(and about a lot of Beatles Brazillian releases) is that those Mono Versions were not actually Mono but a Fold-Down version that were made with stereo versions, what is a shame 😢

[aydinstone]

Thanks again Andrew. For the first time with these re-issues I’m actually nervous about hearing these, my favourite recordings, disassembled when the box set arrives knowing that I’ll probably never hear them the same again.
