Despite its origins as an innocent children's song, "Yellow Submarine" was adopted by the counterculture as a song promoting drugs, namely the barbiturate Nembutal. [322] Revolver has appeared high up in many lists of the best albums ever made, [401] [433] often in the top position. [434] [435] It was voted the third best album of all time in the 1998 "Music of the Millennium" poll [436] conducted by HMV and Channel 4, [437] and in the following year's expanded survey, which polled 600,000 people across the UK. [438] [439] Also in 1998, it was ranked first in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums, directly ahead of Sgt. Pepper and The Beatles, [440] and it was first again in the 2000 edition of the book. [441] [442] Q placed it at number 1 in its list of the "50 Greatest British Albums Ever" in 2000; [443] [444] four years later, the album topped the same magazine's list "The Music That Changed the World". [445] In 2001, it topped VH1's "100 Greatest Albums", [445] [446] compiled from a poll of more than 500 journalists, music executives and artists. [447] In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked Revolver third on its list of the " 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", [448] [449] a position it retained on the magazine's revised list nine years later.

Revolver and Rubber Soul are the two Beatles albums that were most in need of remixing, with Rubber Soul expected in 2023. Iteration and fearless experimentation were always Beatles hallmarks, but Revolver found the band accelerating headfirst into innovation. Part of that was life experiences seeping into their art after a whirlwind few years: 1965’s Rubber Soul – the studio album directly before Revolver – contained forays into psychedelic pop as well as sharply observed (if straightforward) original songwriting. But, for the first time since their global breakthrough, the Beatles took a break in early 1966, canceling a proposed film and taking four months off before heading into the studio. Revolver’s music is the result of the band members having space to breathe and reset their creativity. This remix of Revolver is the most important remix so far. It doesn’t sound exactly like the album we’ve enjoyed for 56 years, and that might bother some people, but the remix sounds better. It’s the way this innovative album deserves to be heard. According to MacDonald, this was the "price" the Beatles paid alongside their being appointed MBEs in September 1965. [163] Aside from the financial imposition, Harrison was alarmed that the money was being used to fund the manufacture of military weapons. [164] The reissue of The Beatles’ 1966 album Revolver has been officially confirmed and is coming in late October. There will be six physical formats, including a 5CD super deluxe edition and a 4LP+7″ super deluxe.

With Revolver, they had mapped out the pop universe so perfectly that all they could do next was tear it up and start again. [426] PopMatters staff (9 November 2009).

The Beatles producer Giles Martin has confirmed a deluxe boxset of the band’s 1966 album ‘Revolver’ is in the works.

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.”With all due respect to the fans that know Revolverinside out, it’s the kids, like my daughter, who asked me the other day ‘hey dad, have you heard this amazing band called Fleetwood Mac?’ that I am interested in reaching with this… A good song is a good song, a good band is a good band,” he says defiantly. “I recently listened through the album together with Paul and he goes, ‘actually, this is maybe some of my best work,’ and he’s certainly done a lot of good work. It’s nice to get at that stage where he can talk about it openly and appreciate it.”

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. [41] [nb 4]A bonus disc on the new expanded, remixed and remastered box set of 1966’s Revolver offers an even more transformative experience: a jaw-dropping sequence of Yellow Submarine work tapes traces the song’s evolution from a fragile, sad wisp sung by John Lennon to its later iteration as a Ringo Starr-directed psych-pop goof. That the band steered Yellow Submarine from morose folk trifle to boisterous stoner singalong seems improbable, but the tapes don’t lie: through a combination of focused acoustic woodshedding and whimsical studio risks, the band arrived at the more familiar, upbeat Yellow Submarine.

Some people might say it sounds like a terrible mess of a sound ... But the song ought to be looked on as interesting – if people listen to it with open ears. It's like the Indian stuff. You mustn't listen to Eastern music with a Western ear. [264] Timberg, Scott (5 August 2016). "Why 'Revolver' Still Matters: The 50th Anniversary of a Beatles Masterpiece". Salon.
