Revolver

Product Information

The first VG-lista albums chart was published on 1 January 1967, almost five months after the release of Revolver. [474]

Based on retail sales up to early October 1966, Revolver was the eighth-highest-selling album of the year in the US. [357] Although commercially successful, it ranked only equal tenth (with Help!) on the list of the Beatles' biggest-selling albums in the US, as supplied by Allen Klein in 1970. [358] According to figures published in 2009 by former Capitol executive David Kronemyer, further to estimates he gave in MuseWire magazine, [359] the album had sold 1,187,869 copies in the US by 31 December 1966 and 1,725,276 copies by the end of the decade.

Not only were The Beatles able to bridge their interest in the relatively uncommercial worlds of psychedelia, experimental, and Indian classical music with Motown (“Got to Get You Into My Life”) and what we now think of as classically Beatlesque pop (“Good Day Sunshine”), but they also gave us a template for the pop album as the kaleidoscopically varied studio construction we think of it as today. Cute, but more. I spoke to Giles last year about mixing The Beatles and I specifically asked him about Revolver and whether the so-called ‘de-mixing’ technology was good enough to allow him to remix the 1966 album. His answer suggested not, but he left the door open for it to happen: Variety further notes that an official announcement about the project, including release date and details on what material will be included, will likely come in September.

Riley calls Revolver the Beatles' best album but also, in the edition issued by Capitol, their "most artistically compromised". [429] With all due respect to the fans that know Revolverinside out, it’s the kids, like my daughter, who asked me the other day ‘hey dad, have you heard this amazing band called Fleetwood Mac?’ that I am interested in reaching with this… A good song is a good song, a good band is a good band,” he says defiantly. “I recently listened through the album together with Paul and he goes, ‘actually, this is maybe some of my best work,’ and he’s certainly done a lot of good work. It’s nice to get at that stage where he can talk about it openly and appreciate it.”Italian album certifications – The Beatles – Revolver" (in Italian). Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana .

In Goldstein's description of London: "The sound of Revolver blares from window after window. John harmonizes with Paul in greengrocers and boutiques.
