Nice idea for a thread and personal recollections always more interesting than anything AI can come up with. Interesting about the demos, might have to check into those. _________________ Bluesky ยท Facebook ยท Spotify ยท X

Thanks AM
I was thinking the same thing about the demos. Do they exist? Some investigation needed
Cheers man. I did a little search last night and cannot find the demos at the moment. I'm assuming that they didn't survive. maybe even recorded over. Who knows. Shame.
This has always been my favourite Beatles album and it's clear to me that this is a huge leap forward from Rubber Soul (an album I also like) and that Sgt. Peppers would not have happened without this album. I find Sgt. Peppers rather a hard listen TBH.
I can see why this is considered The Beatles' most experimental album. The song writing is more innovative and the use of a diverse array of instruments was ground-breaking at the time. I'm also pretty sure that they never played a live show after the release of Revolver so it marks the shift from a live group to a studio-focused one and the freedom in what they could recording that gave them. Love the use of Indian music and psychedelic music.
I cannot deny that there are some iconic tracks like "Eleanor Rigby" and "Tomorrow Never Knows," and "Taxman" is a banging opener. I could be wrong but was this also the first time that the Beatles had extensively used an orchestra when they did on "Eleanor Rigby".
