BEATLES "revolver" cd, 1966
revisit...
their seventh...
had forgotten how good this one was...
nothing from the period sounds like this at all...
its the album that blew Brian Wilson's mind and inspired him to write "pet sounds"...
pop/rock orchestrations, crystal clear production, distorted guitars, backwards guitar loops,
double tracked vocals, harmoniums, french horns etc etc the list of non-rock instruments go on and on...
McCartney at his best writing to date, "for no one", "here there and everywhere". "eleanor rigby", "good day sunshine" and "got to get you into my life" (often dubbed the first Wings track)...
Lennon with his psychedelic rock,
George with possibly the greatest guitar sounds up to that point on "and your bird can sing" and the birth of what we would now call World Music with his sitar drenched "love to you"...
and Ringo warbling that super catchy earworm "yellow submarine"..
in a way, this album contained the earliest versions of what is now called "symphonic rock"...
one can never underestimate this album and its influence on what followed it...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
lets go for George Harrison's Indian influenced World Music...
Each day just goes so fast
I turn around, it's past
You don't get time to hang a sign on me
Love me while you can
Before I'm a dead old man
A lifetime is so short
A new one can't be bought
But what you've got means such a lot to me
Make love all day long
Make love singing songs
Make love all day long
Make love singing songs
There's people standing round
Who'll screw you in the ground
They'll fill you in with all their sins, you'll see
I'll make love to you
If you want me to
