Roandy55 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I'll wager there must be someone somewhere in the world who owns a copy of everything that has ever been released in their name, and probably has a fairly sizable collection of memorabilia as well. I am not that person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Revolver is the Beatles album and its not even close. It's the balance of pop and forward thinking rock. All the songs are great and its less than 40 min. All killer no filler. jonnywreck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The promo video on the Beatle's site doesn't show it, but retailer listings say that the 3LP boxed set (that's "limited" in some way) also comes with the book.

Makes the $85 price tag sting all the more, then. If there was any target market you'd want to include extra analogue media for, you'd think it would come with the vinyl...

timsimmons Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) As an aside, I’ve never been able to figure out how this album has been a top ten selling record for the past 15 years or whatever. Like, how is THIS Beatles album the ones that sells a shit ton every year. I know before the remasters a few years back, it was the only one that was regularly pressed (for some reason - that’s another question). I’ve always assumed it because people bought it to frame it because the album art is iconic Edited August 20, 2019 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the book is exclusive to the CD set. I also don't understand why. It looks like the CDs are placed directly into the book. I guess the 3LP set will be similar to the White Album set. Just the records and a thin booklet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's a perfect rock album. It predicts all the "heavy-pop" sounds that would rule the 70s: hard-rock, boogie-rock, early metal, stoner-rock, etc. Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's also have iconic album covers and as far as that goes, Dark Side of The Moon has to still be the most iconic as far as poster art goes.

OneThreeOneTwo Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Is everyone else digging the remix? I'm not calling it a remaster because they've really reworked the mix, too. I know Steve Hoffman forum doctrine says "Actually remaster; don't mess with the OG mix" but I love all the heavy tweaking they've done to Abbey Road 2019. I really don't care that it's far away from any of the official mixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
