There’s no point in just doing this to make money or as a sales thing or because we’d done the others," he continued. "It’s more important that we do it for the right reason.”

MacDonald deems Lennon's remark about the Beatles' "god-like status" in March 1966 to have been "fairly realistic", given the reaction to Revolver. He adds: "The album's aural invention was so masterful that it seemed to Western youth that The Beatles knew – that they had the key to current events and were somehow orchestrating them through their records." [404] MacDonald highlights "the radically subversive" message of "Tomorrow Never Knows" – exhorting listeners to empty their minds of all ego- and material-related thought – as the inauguration of a "till-then élite-preserved concept of mind-expansion into pop, simultaneously drawing attention to consciousness-enhancing drugs and the ancient religious philosophies of the Orient". [314] Author Shawn Levy writes that the album presented an alternative reality that contemporary listeners felt compelled to explore further; he describes it as "the first true drug album, not a pop record with some druggy insinuations, but an honest-to-heaven, steeped-in-the-out-there trip from the here and now into who knew where".

The unnumbered second version of “Got To Get You Into My Life” is an enjoyable take, just The Beatles, using a fuzz guitar in place of the horns. Take 5 of “And Your Bird Can Sing” is a little more straightforward, and sounds similar to The Byrds. Very few of the outtakes will be versions that will be played often, but they help us understand The Beatles’ recording process. The expanded ‘Revolver’ box set is more like the early ‘Sgt Pepper’ reissue in that it does not contain any unreleased Beatles songs. Disc’s two and three feature alternate takes from the sessions, while disc one is a new stereo mix of the original album and disc four is a mono mix of the original album.

According to Schaffner, one of the album's few detractors was Jonathan King, an English "pop-star-turned-pundit" who dismissed it as "pseudo-intellectual rubbish". [374] Ray Davies of the Kinks, who held a grudge against the Beatles from 1964, also disparaged the album when invited to give a rundown of the songs in Disc and Music Echo. Davies said Revolver was inferior to Rubber Soul. [375] The Beatles had hoped to work in a more modern facility than EMI's London studios at Abbey Road [37] and were impressed with the sound on records created at Stax Studio in Memphis. [38] In March 1966, Epstein investigated the possibility of their recording the new album at Stax, [39] where, according to a letter written by Harrison two months later, the group intended to work with producer Jim Stewart. [40] The idea was abandoned after locals began descending on the Stax building, as were alternative plans to use either Atlantic Studios in New York or Motown's Hitsville USA facility in Detroit.

Overall, it's still enjoyable, but this is the second box set in a row with some manufacturing / pressing (or mastering?) defect. My "Let It Be" box has horrendous sibilance and IGD, across the entire set, and I went through 3 of those before I just gave up. (Eventually my wife bought me the CD box, thankfully...).

I know you folks don't like GZ media. I had the one or two that were not the best ever presses I own, but most of the time they do a good job, and I feel they're working hard to quiet negative discussion. With this release they really show their ability not only with the vinyl included but with anything else that is contained in this box. And the box itself is beautiful, too. The book is a dream.
