I find it hilarious that anyone could rate the best pop / rock music of all time anything less than five stars. The best Beatles efforts (Help, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, MMT) have only been improved with the remastering effort. Anyone who can find fault with these gems of recording needs to ask themselves "what does rate five stars?" The work the Beatles turned out in 6 years has never been matched in terms of quantity and quality. There are very few "weak" tracks in the entire body of work. If you seriously think these milestones rate less than five stars, I can only say "get real!".
"Revolver!!!"

in my opinion, the absolute best Beatles album. Its a well rounded stylistically multi faceted compillation of great songs. I've loved it since I was a child.
If ever there was a person to earn the title of "5th Beatle"....it would surely have been George Martin and Brian Epstein....and NOT New York radio DJ, Murray the K.
Martins invaluable knowledge of musical theory and arrangement, as well as his vast overall familiarity with each of the instruments and vocalizing; plus his willingness to bet on a longshot and take risks.
It was Brian Epsteins original interest in the band that convinced them to change their appeance/image and got them in the doors at Parlophone in the first place.
When you listen back to 1962 to the Decca Tapes, the Tony Sheridan recordings and the Star Club in Hamburg,Germany.....It doesn't take a genius to figure out that NOBODY transcends from being a barely competent musician to the Beatle level in only 14 or 15 months. Also keep in mind that short of Paul McCartney, no one in the band had any formal musical training.
I believe this is where George Martin and Brian Epstein come into the picture....Their guidance and vision took a group of 4 very ambitious young men who were extremely talented; yet raw and and transformed them into the biggest band of the century. In very short order, they became better than any of their peers. The bands appearance took on a new look....as well as their sound..
In the studio....Martin undoubtedly helped them to polish their vocal and musical skills...showing them the tips and secrets only the pros were familiar with. It was Martin who helped them accelerate their prowess of the piano and organ...as well as giving them tips on how to accentuate their playing style on guitar, bass and drums..This is the job of a good producer....to get the most out of the performer and to capture it all on tape.
So.....If there ever was ANYBODY who deserved to be referred to as a "5th Beatle"....It would have to be George Martin and Brian Epstein. These 2 men were every much a Beatle as the 4 who you saw on all the records and cd's.
When I think back to all the hoopla that was associated with Beatlemania....I am really convinced that it wasn't all hype at all....These guys (with the help of Brian and George) really deserved all that attention and they truly were a phenomenon and destined to be the BAND OF THE CENTURY.
If you doubt me....just listen to the music.
***************************************
All I can really say is....If you like this stereo mix....You will probably like SGT PEPPER and MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR as well....it isn't that hokey "music-left/vocals-right" wannabe stereo that I have been ragging about....This is actually listenable and enjoyable....The remastering job is pretty good....The packaging is a real treat...
I would say....All in all...it's worth the investment.

this is the early stages of the beatles' experimental stuff. every song is great, but not all of them are your typical beatles song. buy this record!
Over 40 years ago I stood in front of my mono record player spinning revolver over and over thinking "Wow- this is great" . Now I sit in front of a computer clicking songs at random thinking "Wow - this is great".
This is a true landmark recording that clearly demonstrates the Beatles' creative power at their absolute peak. There's been nothing like it before or since.
"Psychedelic and romantic"

When I asked my mom which songs on this album were her favorites, she mentioned songs like "Here, There, and Everywhere," or "For No One," when at the same time, the guys from the Grateful Dead were impressed by tracks like "Tomorrow Never Knows" while "Love You To" was very innovative for what became the flavor of the month (a great month).
This album shows the Beatles at their most psychedelic on "Tomorrow Never Knows," their most romantic on "Here, There, and Everywhere" ("Something" could be more romantic, but I would say it's a toss-up), their most glamorous on "Got to Get You Into My Life," and their most poetic and classical on Eleanor Rigby."
