[357] Although commercially successful, it ranked only equal tenth (with Help!) on the list of the Beatles' biggest-selling albums in the US, as supplied by Allen Klein in 1970. [358] According to figures published in 2009 by former Capitol executive David Kronemyer, further to estimates he gave in MuseWire magazine, [359] the album had sold 1,187,869 copies in the US by 31 December 1966 and 1,725,276 copies by the end of the decade.

The Beatles' 'Revolver' Given Remixed, Expanded Reissue | Exclaim!". exclaim.ca . Retrieved 11 September 2022. In its lyrical themes, the album marks a radical departure from the Beatles' past work, as a large majority of the songs avoid the subject of love. [153] According to Reising and LeBlanc, the lyrics on this and the band's later psychedelic records capture the psychedelic culture's belief in the truth-revealing qualities of LSD over the illusions of bourgeois thinking; reject materialism in favour of Asian-inspired spirituality; and explore the overlap in meaning between a "trip" and travelling, resulting in narratives in which time and space become blurred. [154] Where the songs do present as love songs, the authors continue, love is often conveyed as a unifying force among many, rather than between two individuals, or as a "way of life". [155] Along with the rest of the Beatles catalogue, the album was first issued on compact disc in 1987. [460] In 2009, Apple and EMI released remastered versions of the Beatles albums on CD. Revolver was also included in the box sets released at the time, The Beatles: Stereo Box Set and The Beatles in Mono Box Set. [461] Variety further notes that an official announcement about the project, including release date and details on what material will be included, will likely come in September.

It’s nice to get at that stage where he can talk about it openly and appreciate it.” Hertsgaard, Mark (1996). A Day in the Life: The Music and Artistry of the Beatles. London: Pan Books.
