The Beatles' seventh studio album - and the bridge between Rubber Soul and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - 1966's Revolver is recognized as one of the Fab Four's most groundbreaking as well as significant albums. With producer George Martin, the group employed studio wizardry to bring their new songs to life - tape loops, automatic double tracking, close miking, use of varispeed and reversed tapes, among other techniques that would soon be imitated by countless others - as well as non-traditional instrumentation. It didn't hurt, of course, that all of these innovations were in service of some of The Beatles' strongest songs yet.  Engineer Geoff Emerick, who counted Revolver as his first work with the group, noted that it "changed the way everyone else made records."  Now, it's returning in a variety of deluxe editions featuring a new stereo mix by Giles Martin and Sam Okell as well as previously unreleased alternate takes and more.
