When I was 13 and heard Revolver for the first time, I thought this is brilliant until I got to "Tomorrow Never Knows", I thought they (The Beatles) had gone bonkers. I didn't like it at at all, but it turned into an earworm and I just had to keep going back to listen to it over and over again, volume on full. My mum thought I was nuts.

I think it's disgusting EMI didn't provide you with a free pre-release version. This channel is excellent!
I had a Russian version of Revolver in the 90's. Wonderful memories. Thanks a lot, Andrew
Thanks Andrew, the Italian label looks pretty cool!
Another great video, Andrew! As with most of us Yanks, my 1st Revolver was the 11 track LP on the orange Capitol label. Not until I got the BC13 box set did I hear the true Revolver in all its glory. Can't wait for my box set!😁😁 Cool seeing the 1st Mexican pressing on the old late 50s-early 60s Capitol rainbow label!
Another great episode! Thanks Andrew. Regarding the US Revolver; it should have at least been issued with 12 tracks, as Rubber Soul had. “Rain” could have at least been added to give John three songs.
These videos of yours Andrew, are dangerously engaging! Each one is like a voyage into a lost past....and so very much appreciated. Cheers!

Thanks so much for all the Revolver coverage Andrew! Love it! To me anyway, the most important and influential album made! So many new innovations introduced on this album etc. I feel this album allowed the Beatles to make Sgt. Peppper. Without out Revolver, Sgt Pepper would not have been quite as influential as it is (yes Sgt Pepper is influential). I love Sgt Pepper. I love all Beatles music! This is just my personal observation and my research through the years. Everyone will have their own idea of what is the best etc. That's why it's so fun to talk to other Beatles fans who have a different take. I enjoy hearing why they think this album or that album is their preferred Beatles album!
Thank you Rev Andrew for this Sunday sermon 🙏. Can't wait to watch your unboxing & review.
Yet another great video, Andrew! Champing at the bit for the box set which hopefully will be the final word on Revolver.
Loved this look at Revolver mispressings, label mix ups and collectibles. Also fascinating to see were the album's releases from around the world. Again, you've played a blinder, Andrew! Can't wait to see your Revolver unboxing video!
Great information as always. Thank you.

One of my favourite Beatles record, Andrew. Cheers, Nelio.
Having compared TNK RM11 to the usual mono mix, I think I prefer RM11 - seems punchier somehow. Thank you for this very informative (as are all the others!) episode.
Thanks for this new amazing video! I like the new name change!
Another winner from Andrew. Sundays seem a bit more sunny to me after seeing your weekly Beatles clip. Thanks😀👌.
The build up to the release is quite exciting. Thanks for showing those lovely copies from around the world. Hope you do an unboxing video when you purchase your copy. Of all the hundreds of unboxing videos that will be on here, yours is one that most would want to see. All the best Andrew 👍
Wow! Again Andrew, you make me feel 15 years old again! I get real excited seeing the differences…many of which I’ve never seen…and I thought I’d seen it all😅 by now! Brilliant show and looking forward to the set due out! Many thanks again!👍
Brilliant and interesting, as usual, Andrew. I revised for my mock "O" levels listening to it over and over on my new Danstte. I've been a big fan ever since and have collected all their records ever since.

Great video Andrew! I just picked up the 1972 Singapore pressing that replaces Yellow Submarine with Your Mother Should Know. Always nice to find those types of pressings out in the wild!

At 53 seconds what a great album chart with a third of them and four of them in the top five still,56 years later,regarded amongst the greatest lps of all time
Thanks again Andrew. For the first time with these re-issues I’m actually nervous about hearing these, my favourite recordings, disassembled when the box set arrives knowing that I’ll probably never hear them the same again.
Superb video as always! Is it bad as an American I enjoy the watered down 11 track version of “Revolver?” I say that because it’s a by product of Capitol’s folk/rock “Rubber Soul” as well as the infamous “Yesterday and Today.”
Hi Andrew, I've been following your channel for a while now, today's vídeo was as good as always, keep it up! Also, I love in how these Beatles around the world videos you show different pressings with their labels. I think you noticed but maybe don't know why, the pressing from the Colombian Lp (from where I am) is only missing Yellow submarine, the remaining A side and the whole B side are identical to the UK original, this is because in here Yellow submarine was edited exclusively as a single, at least until 'A collection of Beatles oldies' was edited in 1967; Cool thing about this, its cover is drawn and shows the Beatles' faces in a Yellow submarine in the sea; I guess this might be the very first "official" art of the Yellow Submarine..?
Thank you again for your video regarding the Revolver 50 book Andrew. Got my signed copy in the mail today. 🎉

It's always amazing to see how inconsistent the packaging and labeling was back then. If I were in a country where they had radically changed the Revolver cover it would've been so diappointing
Great Video Andrew!! I have four copy’s of Revolver 1972 German oden blue label Captiol 1966 mono 1978 purple label stereo. And the 2009 vinyl of the uk stereo mix.

Great vid, Andrew! No notes about the original Revolver EP pressed in Mexico? I thought I saw it in the collage, but on second view I think it was another CD release I’d spied. Love the channel!
Great video for a great album as always Andrew. I love that you featured some of the various pressings from around the globe. In the last few years with the strength of the internet, I have fell in love with different variations the world has to offer. Say for example, Revolver, or any Beatles album, is a bottle of red wine. When tasting the red wine from different countries or regions, the wine will have slightly different tastes and nuances. To me, it’s the same as a record from different regions of the world. Same songs, but different EQ, vinyl formulation, or that unique cutting that separates one from the other that makes the particular pressing unique. The Carisch mono is a good example. The mono is a stereo fold down. Although the dedicated mono is preferred, there isn’t many examples I can think of that offers the album this way. And who doesn’t love the vintage and sometimes archaic looking labels. I also love Revolver front covers that feature the different logos from the different countries and eras. The ST-8 Capitol Record Club from early 1969 featured was pretty cool too. Those can be a challenge to track down. There is also a green target and solid red/orange record club variations. The green target is the easiest to find. The red/orange from the early to mid 70’s is one of the harder ones to find. The red/orange Revolver was the last, and only Beatles album with this label available in the club before it folded. There is red and purple target label reissue on Capitol from 1972 that is highly sought after that was manufactured at the Winchester Virginia facility. This label was used for the reissues in Canada. Per Allen Klein, the back catalog was supposed to be reissued with Apple labels in the US. Very few copies of this Revolver were pressed with this label before Winchester got the memo. A similar situation at the Jacksonville Illinois Capitol plant occurred with Yesterday…And Today. Very few red target labels were pressed and got out, and now, super rare. I have the Y&T but not Revolver. Found it in the wild 20 years ago. Sorry about my rambling. I figured I would share this tidbit with you if unfamiliar. I love talking records and record collecting. I could do it all day! 😆

Thank you so very much. These odd variations of Revolver on Capitol are great to seek out. I have the three record club copies, but not the purple red target Revolver. When it comes to domestic releases, I still love digging in the record bins. The bulk of Capitol pressings where I live in Wisconsin are from Jacksonville Illinois or Scranton Pennsylvania. One day I may have to acquiesce and order a copy online. I forgot to mention, all of the reissue Capitol Canadian Lp’s from 72 do have the purple target-red label. Apparently the Apple back catalog change over didn’t apply to Canada.
Thanks, Andrew, great video. As I mentioned in another Revolver video comment, I have a Blue Odeon out of France that I bought in Belgium in the Eighties. What's odd about it is that the studio chatter countdown at the start of Taxman is edited out, the record goes right into that classic riff. I understand all French pressings have this anomaly, but I would be interested if other countries also have this quirk. Oh, and as for Sound of Music, I suggest you take the Sound of Music tour in Salzburg, so that the hills can come alive with the sound of music for you!
Andrew that was great tour of Revolver around the world! After seeing so many of those KZreadrs out there who receive free early release copies of the box set but end up uttering incoherent garbage about two-track recordings, etc, I would have thought that Apple would be hand delivering a copy of the new box set to you well in advance to allow you to do a proper review of it. Anyway, good luck with Amazon being timely. Thanks again for the great content!

Fascinating.
That USA label is a Capitol Record Club issue (denoted by the 8 in the catalog number, not to mention the 'made under license by...' text), very cool. It'd feel like a timewarp to spin the Mexican one and hear Taxman coming out while the late-50s Capitol label rotates...sort-of a "what-if..." Great video as always Andrew, and like the rest of us, am waiting with bated breath for the box to arrive!!!
Thank You Andrew; Great Show! Cheers, ☮💙💛🎹🎸☀🌎 What's The Story With The Beatle-esque Music In Your Shows? Fab
Thanks for the video. RM11 of Tomorrow Never Knows can be found on several brazilian counterfeits on coloured vinyl. They were probably made from the Dr. Ebbetts' CD.
I have that Sound Of Music lp. It was my mom's but I inherited it when she passed away.
3:25 as far as I know, most of those brazilian "mono" releases from Odeon are actually the stereo tapes mixed down to mono. Very noticeable on Sgt Peppers due to the sound differences of the mono and stereo originals.
Always Great AndrewI have a US Record Club lp, nice lp. Japanese red vinyl as well as various UK and Germany plus the 2014 mono lp. Getting both deluxe box sets., have heard the extras for years on boots. Looking forward to hearing Apple’s version.
About the "Tomorow Never Comes" RM 11, and Georges' piano barrelhouse where the fade out can be heard very well, on the 4 CD Granny Smith Label (The Revolver Sessions, bootleg from 2009 ), on the CD2 track 12 (Tomorrow Never Knows (SI Onto Take 3 Vocal, Organ, Tambourine, Piano)), you can hear the same piano barrelhouse fade out as the RM11and even more isolated...
Informative as always Andrew! Until you put the back cover text of both the UK and US on screen at the same time, I never noticed that the lettering of the word REVOLVER looks different on the two covers. It’s not so surprising with the song list, which Capitol obviously changed. But I’m surprised at how different the title looks on the two back covers, if you scrutinize them carefully.
As usual, wonderful vid, Andrew! However, may I nitpick a bit here (and someone else may have already commented)--I believe it's Paul playing the piano at the fade out of Tomorrow Never Knows. Btw, I greatly prefer RM11 to 8, but I have to admit the drum sound is superior on 8, but the rest of it is just too empty sounding in comparison--but then, I prefer the stereo mix anyway. I have seen some preview comments online claiming the forthcoming Giles remix is even better on this track. Can't wait to find out.
Here in the US The Sound of Music has got to be one of the most commonly seen records in charity shops,or thrift stores as we call them here. Have you seen that great picture somebody did of the Revolver cover, except it was all Badfinger substituted for The Beatles? The US one you show is the Record Club issue. I have a couple of these Beatles LPs. Are those one box logo Beatles LPs from 1969-70 rare in the UK, like they are in the US? I have one of With The Beatles,as well as a Yardbirds.
It’s pretty shameful that all record companies couldn’t just release the same albums to begin with, I was born in the 90s so I didn’t have to experience this, but Id hate to be use to a certain version to then later find out it was a butcher. All that aside, it’s incredibly fun and amazing to hear about all these different versions today and try to hurt down them. Out of the many copies, I actually have a Columbia version of Revolver that doesn’t include Yellow Submarine. The back cover actually forgot to erase Ringo’s name in the print, so his name is next to She Said She Said with John’s name underneath

The USA market having different song titles was the norm for not just The Beatles, but other acts as well. Capitol wasn’t the only label to do it either. The album containing the single sold units here. Some American configurations of Lp’s like The Rolling Stones Out Of Our Heads we’re released in other countries with the American London Records song line up instead of the UK Decca. The Flowers Lp that was configured in the USA was released almost worldwide as well.

While the practice became much less common, repackging and changing tracklists still happened to UK bands when releasing albuns in the US. I can think from memory: the first Clash album.. Ultravox' Vienna and way into the 90s: The fist 2 Mansun albums (funny enough they were also on Parlophone in the UK)

Yes I’m very aware that it wasn’t just a Beatles thing that Capitol did. Jimi Hendrix’s debut in the US is a masterpiece. Funny you say about it happening to UK bands in the US, the opposite seemed to happened to the release of Metallica’s 1987 EP of cover tunes in the UK only had 4 of the 5 songs. The Clash’s UK debut is a pure Punk record as opposed to later released US version that featured Reggae tunes that the band was into at that time. But I had to rehunt down the US version because the version of White Riot is much better than on the UK LP, plus I’m wayyyy more familiar with that version

@W Green Yes, definitely. London really had a magic touch with configuring the albums to the American market. Now! Definitely works like all of the others. With those Stones Lp’s I’m so used to hearing the American London albums that when I play the UK, something seems to be missing. Especially with Between The Buttons. The first time I bought Aftermath was when I was in high school. It was the UK. That is the exception. I love the UK Aftermath much more, along with the UK High Tides.
Amazingly interesting 🤔
Another cracking dive into the Beatles pressing history. I'm sad to say my only copy is an AnTrop bootleg that came as a two-disc pair with Sgt. Pepper, with one front cover printed on either side of the gatefold, complete with the adjusted artwork you mention. I might have to hunt for a more official one to complement it. The new pressing's 43€ list price does give me pause, though.
buena suerte estaremos esperando tu box set este viernes 28
The very last part of George Harrison's backwards guitar is also missing on the RM11 Tomorrow Never Knows mix with a loop's volume accidentally faded up instead before Lennon's vocals come in for the second part of the song.
Buena mi estimado andrew !!!!..es un gusto saber que existe personas como tu que realizan estos excelentes videos y ademas nos compartes tus amplios conocimientos sobre la banda mas importantes de todos los tiempos: THE BEATLES.....Gracias totales!!!!..saludos desde Peru !!!
Hi Andrew, how you doin'? There's an interesting information about the Brazillian version of Revolver(and about a lot of Beatles Brazillian releases) is that those Mono Versions were not actually Mono but a Fold-Down version that were made with stereo versions, what is a shame 😢
Interesting to see how Mexico apparently had the "abridged" 11-track version in the beginning. USA influence was (and is) strong. The full version shown is of course a much later reissue.
Great Revolver video. I have a French 1969 blue odeon pressing without the count in on Taxman. Is this version on any other pressing. Charles
You lucked out Andrew. Amazon told me I'd get my copy on 7th of November
Regarding the SoM movie soundtrack in Europe: I remember the Trapp Familie Movie told the Story years earlier although b/w and the saccharine music like Edelweiss never made it onto German radio to my knowledge, maybe the record company missed a trick completely at that time in terms of promotion. SoM was always Hollywood Kitsch. Your revolver items are fabulous, I was 21 when I bought it in August ‘66.
I love the catalog number on the French Odeon. LSD 105.
Great news that the RM11 is going to be on the new mix.
“Capitol Knows Best” starring Dave Dexter as Mr Echo
I've never really thought much of TKN RM11. RM8 is far better especially the guitar solo...it sounds somehow otherworldly! Great video and info as always!
⚡GREAT TO SEE YOU!⚡
Thank you for giving me a comment the other day. I have another deeper question to you. How about the sound quality of NZ press of “Revolver“ compared to the other pressings?
I am going say - I don't really like the Beatles - and before the hate starts rolling in - I really the do like the channel I find it very interesting -and informative and Andrews knowledge from what I can see is second none - great work keep it up
I have the 1st UK edition with the remix 11, about 10 years ago I made a video showing the audio of Tomorrow Never Knows, but some years later it got blocked. Now I have that video on my Google Drive, I don't know if it's OK to post the link here.
Strange, there is no George Harrison`s "Love Me To" in KZread.
I have a 1972 english pressing I got it for £10 earlier this year it's a great sounding records I want to get the capitol version just to listen and see it but I can't find any for a good price in england

I have a the original Tomorrow Never Knows on a German CD mono Pressing of Yesterday and Today/Revolver CD of the American versions in the Bonus tracks which contains “more tape tape loops)…

Now i' m confused I just saw " new," opening " Revolver," box set that contains mono/ stereo vinyl,outtakes,red Japan pressing,book,no single " Rain." I have German pressing on " Apple," label and it has a long missprint series of George Harrison song " I want to love( tell) you." Nice video.👍😎

This is a counterfeit and is in true mono instead of the stereo fold down format used in genuine brazilian pressings. And it has RM11 of Tomorrow Never Knows.
There is a Beatles bootleg with a colour version of the B & W cover with alternate takes and false starts too. There are many variations from different countries as with was the case with other artists too, which is what I like about past releases. Heard that John Lennon didn't like U.S. albums as they were butchered, but, never heard any objection about other countries. Didn't know that about 'Granny Smith' an apple reference.
Andrew but if you look very close as i did this past week, you going to see that Russian cover is actually re-designed, i checked with my wife who work on animation, she said "I'm surely convinced that is not even the same hand".....
Can you tell me anything about a mint condition still in shrink stereo original that has promotional stamp on the front top right corner copy not for sale of the jacket?
I like my late 70s Japanese pressing with the lovely Apple label. As usual, the insert that includes lyrics also in English has plenty of minor errors, and then there's this one: "I said who put all those things in your hair" which suggests someone sat down to transcribe it and that's what they thought they heard. I saw you had several pressings from South America. I only once bought one: a Uruguay pressing of Help. Content and cover art was same as the UK release, but the audio quality was utter rubbish. The front and rear cover art was printed on separate sheets of thin card stock. These were laminated in plastic which was joined together to form the outer sleeve.
I picked up a test pressing of a Hollies album, Vintage Hollies, with a 1G stamper marking. It has plain white labels and is just marked with the date and matrix numbers on the plain sleeve. Is this a counterfeit as it doesn't have the Parlophone Test Pressing label? It is two single sided albums with the test tone on the reverse side of each disc. It sounds absolutely fantastic and far better than the commercially released World Records disc that I also have.
Today, I picked up a US copy on the red Capitol target label. Shouldn't have been on that label. Never thought I'd see one of them.
Whisper it quietly but....the finger snaps at the end of Here There And Everywhere in stereo are missing on the mono mix.
I ended up ordering my boxset from Tower records because they actually listed it on sale and I was able to pair it with a coupon for a total of like $25 usd off the msrp But idk when it’s coming until they actually ship it I hope it won’t be too much later
Russian AnTrop didn't had any rights to release Beatles albums, this is not official release. But it's also kinda "legal" by 90s Russian law. You could release any broadcast recording for free, so you can see "Запись по трансляции" - "broadcast recording" on both labels. Cover art was recreated for the same reason - to formally avoid copyright claims for artwork. Also song titles translated to Russian. I love AnTrop modified covers, great artifact of these times. Sound quality is good too, most likely sourced from original CDs.

Andrew: I have an early 80’s stereo pressing of Revolver from England on the Parlophone label with the 2 EMI boxes. I bought it here in Ontario, Canada. On the back of the jacket it says it was made in Britain and also that it was printed by Garrod & Lofthouse. When I looked at the album itself, it says on the label: Made in France. I never noticed this before. Is this unusual or special?
@Parlogram
Жыл бұрын
Not really. Many copies were pressed in France for export to the UK.
11:35 - I doubt the inclusion of the scrapped mix of Tomorrow Never Knows will devalue the original pressings of the album because some fans out there would like to hear the mix in its original context. I remember being really disappointed when the mono mixes were (temporarily) reissued in 2014 and the RM11 mix was nowhere to be found. This, along with the original "promo" mix of the Penny Lane single, is not exactly going to set the world on fire, but each of the two song's rejected flourishes make their respective songs sound more complete. The released version of Penny Lane sounds like a jump cut at the end without the trumpet notes, and the early fade out in Tomorrow Never Knows sounds like a reissue. Typing those words just now, it occurs to me it actually was a reissue. When the original pressing was rejected, Revolver was REISSUED with the mix we all know and (yes, still) love.
The first time I ever saw the Revolver album was the first time I ever saw the Yesterday and Today album. It was also the first time I was thinking of buying something banned by the church. And I also wonder why neither album feature Paperback Writer and Rain. I was the summer of 1966.
