Fantastic and very proffesional video. I agree with every word, and you certainly have a lot of knowledge about the Beatles.

Revolver, the tip of the mountain top!

Revovler was something, but for me, Rubber Soul remains my fave! Also, I like how Paul blinks!

I've got a number of issues with this video.
The most important thing that set Revolver as a turning point was the changeover from Norman Smith to Geoff Emerick as Recording Engineer. Emerick developed a reputation for being a bit of a maverick for unconventional recording techniques that would often land him in hot water with the management suits at EMI. Fortunately, because he was working with the label's cash cow he was allowed these unorthodox indulgences, but only with The Beatles. The whole image change came with Sgt. Pepper and the appearance of facial hair.
McCartey's dominance of the band came with Yesterday from the Help! album. From that point on all of the group's hit singles came from him. Before that they all came from Lennon.

Great video but you forgot magical mystery tour on the timeline at 0:28

3:08 Number 8 *burp* Number 8 *burp* Number 8 *burp*

You have *"BeaTles For Sale"* out of order on Timeline...compared to the rest.
Also, *"MMTour"* should have been represented in 1967, as it has been the Americanized version for DECADES now. Tsk!

Revolver was Good but Rubber Soul was better IMHO.
