THE BEATLES REVOLVER~ 69 TARGET LABEL, RARE COVER VERSION NM/NM
THE BEATLES REVOLVER
All the rules fell by the wayside with Revolver, as the Beatles began exploring new sonic territory, lyrical subjects, and styles of composition. It wasn't just Lennon and McCartney, either -- Harrison staked out his own dark territory with the tightly wound, cynical rocker "Taxman"; the jaunty yet dissonant "I Want to Tell You"; and "Love You To," George's first and best foray into Indian music. Such explorations were bold, yet they were eclipsed by Lennon's trippy kaleidoscopes of sound. His most straightforward number was "Doctor Robert," an ode to his dealer, and things just got stranger from there as he buried "And Your Bird Can Sing" in a maze of multi-tracked guitars, gave Ringo a charmingly hallucinogenic slice of childhood whimsy in "Yellow Submarine," and then capped it off with a triptych of bad trips: the spiraling "She Said She Said"; the crawling, druggy "I'm Only Sleeping"; and "Tomorrow Never Knows," a pure nightmare where John sang portions of the Tibetan Book of the Dead into a suspended microphone over Ringo's thundering, menacing drumbeats and layers of overdubbed, phased guitars and tape loops. McCartney's experiments were formal, as he tried on every pop style from chamber pop to soul, and when placed alongside Lennon's and Harrison's outright experimentations, McCartney's songcraft becomes all the more impressive. The biggest miracle of Revolver may be that the Beatles covered so much new stylistic ground and executed it perfectly on one record, or it may be that all of it holds together perfectly. Either way, its daring sonic adventures and consistently stunning songcraft set the standard for what pop/rock could achieve. Even after Sgt. Pepper, Revolver stands as the ultimate modern pop album and it's still as emulated as it was upon its original release.
VERY HARD TO FIND 69` GREEN TARGET LABEL PRESSING, WHICH WAS A THICK VINYL PRESSING (AS WE ALL KNOW, THE HEAVIER THE VINYL THE BETTER SOUND QUALITY!)
THIS IS A PARTICULARILY HAD ONE TO FIND, AND THE FIRST ONE I'VE EVER SEEN WITH A RECORD CLUB COVER - RIAA#16 INSIDE WHITE BOX WITHOUT THE CLUB STRIPES!?
THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT THIS BESIDES THE PRESSING, IS THE CONDITION OF THE DISC AND COVER. THE COVER ITSSELF LOOKS LIKE NEW. NO WEAR OR RING IMPRESSION, CREASES OR CORNER KNOCKS. BLACK REAR COVER IS THE MATTE FINISH, EARLIER ISSUE STYLE. THE DISC PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO NOISE AND IS AMAZING WITH ONE LIGHT MARK THAT DOSENT SOUND OFF IN THAT AREA. NO SLEEVE MARKS, NEEDLE SCRATCHES, FULL ORIGINAL GLOSS.
THE RECORD SOUNDS FANTASTIC, THE COVER IS MIND BLOWING, AND THE TITLE IS AT OR NEAR THE TOP BEATLE TITLE IN THE CATALOG IN THE MINDS OF MANY!
