Beatles' revelatory remixed "Revolver"

The Beatles in Abbey Road Studios during filming of the Paperback Writer and Rain promotional films. 19 May 1966 (Apple Corps Ltd.)

As the latest installment in the band's deluxe series of box sets, the Beatles' "Revolver" is a revelation for the ears, a bravura experience befitting an album that will eclipse the ages. And when it comes to outtakes and unreleased demos, the "Revolver" box set may be Apple's finest effort yet.

As with previous installments, Giles Martin and Sam Okell's remixed version of the LP not only does the album justice, but succeeds in creating a richer sound palette characterized by clarity and separation. Fans will no doubt enjoy the opportunity to hear the Beatles' magisterial performance with an enhanced sonic spectrum. Martin and Okell's disaggregation of the bandmates' instruments, for example, affords listeners a new appreciation of their unparalleled musicianship.
