REVOLVER

Not one of my favorite Beatles albums, it is much better than The White Album or Yellow Submarine. The hits from the album became known to me before the album due to my mother's acquisition of the "red" and "blue" history albums that came out in the early 1970s. It wasn't until years later that I came to hear, know, and enjoy the full album, with songs like "Im Only Sleeping," "Here, There and Everywhere," "She Said She Said," "And Your Bird Can Sing," and "Dr. Robert" entering my lexicon of familiarity. And I like it! It's still got some of that fresh, innocence the band's earliest stuff while showing their penchant for experimentation in the studio and engineering room. Still, this is not a great, amazing, life-changing album (despite some of the "advances" made by "Eleanor Rigby" and "Tomorrow Never Knows"). Can't wait for stereo!
