Description

The Beatles' Revolver (ST-2576) is a 1966 album released by Capitol Records in the U.S., a pivotal work in their discography that marks their shift from pop to groundbreaking studio experimentation. Below are the key details:Album Overview:

  • Catalog Number: ST-2576 (stereo, U.S. release)
  • Release Date: August 8, 1966 (U.S.)
  • Format: LP
  • Track Listing (U.S. version):
    • Side A: "Taxman," "Eleanor Rigby," "Love You To," "Here, There and Everywhere," "Yellow Submarine," "She Said She Said"
    • Side B: "Good Day Sunshine," "For No One," "I Want to Tell You," "Got to Get You Into My Life," "Tomorrow Never Knows"
  • Note: The U.S. version omits three songs ("I'm Only Sleeping," "And Your Bird Can Sing," "Doctor Robert") that were included on the U.K. version due to Capitol's practice of reconfiguring tracklists. These were released in the U.S. on Yesterday and Today.
  • Production: George Martin, with innovative techniques like tape loops, backward recordings, and ADT (Automatic Double Tracking).
  • Chart Performance: Hit #1 on the Billboard 200, certified 5x Platinum.
Musical Significance: Revolver is often cited as one of the greatest albums ever, blending genres like rock, psychedelia, classical, and Indian music. Standout tracks include:
  • "Tomorrow Never Knows" (Lennon’s avant-garde masterpiece with tape loops and droning sitar).
  • "Eleanor Rigby" (McCartney’s haunting string-driven narrative).
  • "Taxman" (Harrison’s sharp social commentary).
  • "Yellow Submarine" (Starr’s whimsical singalong).
Collectibility:
  • Pressing Details: Look for 1966 Capitol rainbow label pressings. Early stereo copies (ST-2576) are more sought-after than mono (T-2576).
Cultural Impact: Revolver pushed boundaries in songwriting, studio production, and lyrical depth, influencing countless artists and setting the stage for Sgt. Pepper. It’s celebrated for its diversity, from the introspective "For No One" to the proto-psychedelic "Tomorrow Never Knows."If you’re asking about a specific copy, let me know details like condition, label, or matrix numbers, and I can help estimate value or authenticity.
