I know you folks don't like GZ media. I had the one or two that were not the best ever presses I own, but most of the time they do a good job, and I feel they're working hard to quiet negative discussion. With this release they really show their ability not only with the vinyl included but with anything else that is contained in this box. And the box itself is beautiful, too. The book is a dream. The most improbably surprising song here, though, is “Yellow Submarine.” For the box set, the Beatles’ archivists discovered Lennon’s work tape, which finds him keening about his doldrums over a folky acoustic guitar: “In the place where I was born, no one cared, no one cared.” It sounds both like a Daniel Johnston cassette and the Stanley Brothers bleating “Man of Constant Sorrow”— and nothing like a children’s song about psychedelic seafaring.

Iteration and fearless experimentation were always Beatles hallmarks, but Revolver found the band accelerating headfirst into innovation. Part of that was life experiences seeping into their art after a whirlwind few years: 1965’s Rubber Soul – the studio album directly before Revolver – contained forays into psychedelic pop as well as sharply observed (if straightforward) original songwriting. But, for the first time since their global breakthrough, the Beatles took a break in early 1966, canceling a proposed film and taking four months off before heading into the studio. Revolver’s music is the result of the band members having space to breathe and reset their creativity. Album Top 100 (13/09/2009)". spanishcharts.com. Archived from the original on 8 October 2012 .

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.” According to Shawn Levy, writing in his book on Swinging London, this transformation took place between November 1965 and the following April, when the sessions for Revolver began. He describes the Beatles as "the world's first household psychedelics" and "the first stars of any medium to metamorphose fully and obviously from perky and aboveboard to mysterious and covert".

Overall, it's still enjoyable, but this is the second box set in a row with some manufacturing / pressing (or mastering?) defect. My "Let It Be" box has horrendous sibilance and IGD, across the entire set, and I went through 3 of those before I just gave up. (Eventually my wife bought me the CD box, thankfully...).

[434] [435] It was voted the third best album of all time in the 1998 "Music of the Millennium" poll [436] conducted by HMV and Channel 4, [437] and in the following year's expanded survey, which polled 600,000 people across the UK. [438] [439] Also in 1998, it was ranked first in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums, directly ahead of Sgt. Pepper and The Beatles, [440] and it was first again in the 2000 edition of the book. [441] [442] Q placed it at number 1 in its list of the "50 Greatest British Albums Ever" in 2000; [443] [444] four years later, the album topped the same magazine's list "The Music That Changed the World". [445] In 2001, it topped VH1's "100 Greatest Albums", [445] [446] compiled from a poll of more than 500 journalists, music executives and artists. [447] In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked Revolver third on its list of the " 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", [448] [449] a position it retained on the magazine's revised list nine years later. [413] A bonus disc on the new expanded, remixed and remastered box set of 1966’s Revolver offers an even more transformative experience: a jaw-dropping sequence of Yellow Submarine work tapes traces the song’s evolution from a fragile, sad 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 folk trifle to boisterous stoner singalong seems improbable, but the tapes don’t lie: through a combination of focused acoustic woodshedding and whimsical studio risks, the band arrived at the more familiar, upbeat Yellow Submarine.

Despite its origins as an innocent children's song, "Yellow Submarine" was adopted by the counterculture as a song promoting drugs, namely the barbiturate Nembutal.
