The REVOLUTION began with "Rubber Soul".

I remember buying this in 66 and just staring at the album cover I think it was the back cover where it says who sang what and I could not figure out for the life of me why John only had two songs. As the years passed finally figured out that there was a U.K. version and I like that one a hell of a lot more than the American version.

I got my first copy in, I think, 69 when I was in third grade. I still have it though it sounds kinda rough.

i got my revolver album signed by the man who drew it, klaus voorman, met him at beatlefest

I live in Switzerland and recently picked up a German mid 70s Apple pressing of Magical Mystery Tour. Absolutely amazing sounding LP. I imagine the German Apple Revolver is of the same quality. The early Hör Zu Odeon labels are very common to find here.

You're lucky to have access to those . They are very difficult, and expensive, here in the US. I just recently bought the 73 Hor Zu pressing of Please Please Me, and it is amazing. Andrew from Parlogram Records recommended that and the Revolver, ( which I haven't found yet ). I've had the MMT lp for many years, and are correct in your assessment of that. It's the only version in stereo to have.

@@750drums Thanks for your reply David. I also enjoy Andrew’s videos and one can learn a lot from his posts. It’s my quest to have all the great sounding Apple German pressings in my collection( which won’t break the bank) and to grab a copy of the World Records 1980 Beatles Box. Perhaps one day I’ll start collecting the US versions. There are plenty of second hand US pressings here too.

Well wait until you hear the 3rd German cutting with an Apple label from the mid 70's to early 80's... It'll really knock your socks off! That's the "big bass" pressing he was referring to and it truly is incredible. Highly recommended. 👍

I noticed that the first Capitol pressing of Revolver has the lead guitar passage on "Here, There and Everywhere" is quite loud and very noticeable. Later pressings I've encountered had this passage not buried but hidden, almost out of phase. Then after McCartney sings, But to love her is to need her" it shifts back to the left channel back again. Especially after the second time.

I will have to check that out!

Love your videos. I listen to my CDs. They all sound great. 2009, stereo and mono. Also the 2022 remix and mono from boxset in 2022! All fantastic. Also, I have the American copy from my U.S. Albums box. You also get other songs on Yesterday and Today. All in Mono and Stereo!

Thanks for the post man! Excellent. For me my preferences are the 1966 German white label and my UK first pressing. The new remix is good. And the new box with outtakes are amazing.

My favorite is the solid state

The first pressing Japanese Revolver OP7600 sounds loud and clear-a really engaging listen-but the second pressing AP8443 cleans up some of the rough lively edges for a better balance overall. Great dynamics on those AAA Japanese Revolver pressings. The 80s mono release sounds excellent too.

C1 for stereo, 2014 for Mono. Quiet vinyl and perfect mastering. Japan copies used YEX UK stampers.

Nice overview, thanks. American Beatle records are useless. The less said about them the better. Wish they would re-release the 2014 monos. I still love my original 60's Parlophone issues.

What you have to consider is that for many young Americans in 1964, Meet The Beatles sold like hot cakes and it was the best that every person in the US could buy and enjoy. UK Parlophone imports into the US wouldn’t happen until 69,69. I for one would consider buying the original US Capitol albums just for the factor of collecting them. I totally agree that they sound like they were mixed in tunnel but hey Ho.

I have the German Apple reissue and your right. That German apple reissue is great. I'd love to get my hands on a german white album although I have the direct metal master of it on Apple on white vinyl! Subed.

When it comes to the German "big bass" version, something he left out is you must pay attention to the matrix number more than anything, more specifically the 3rd cutting from the mid 70's to early 80's, with no dash (-) in between the A1/B1 at the end of the matrix number/runout: SHZE 186-A 04097-A1 SHZE 186-B 04097-B1 _or_ 04097-A1 04097-B1 If there's a dash in between A-1/B-1, leave it alone.. That's still 2nd cut from HörZu with lesser sound quality. Just a tip! 👍

I have the album but not the jacket. Bought it in a thrift store for one dollar.

I recently bought the German Horzu on ebay. What a disappointment. Horrible sound quality. Took your advice and purchased the Apple 8443. It sounds magnificent! Thank you for the tip!

The recent remix is the best. At last we don't have to listen to nearly all vocals on one speaker, nearly all instruments on the other perception of stereo, which has pestered nearly every Βeatles song, until they recorded the White Album. Since the remixes came out, I hardly bother to listen to the older ones, remasters or originals. This goes especially for Revolver and Sgt Peppers but a great job was done with the rest which were recorded on 8-track. Isn't modern recording technology a great thing ! Looking forward to a remix of Rubber Soul now. And then who knows, maybe we will get to listen to their early music as it should sound.

"Best" is a very subjective thing. 😉 I think you'd revise your statement, if you got a chance to hear the German "big bass" 3rd cutting from the mid 70's to early 80's he referred to. It's truly a game changer.. Besides the excellent bass, it has incredible punch and clarity. Highly recommend! 👍
