The Beatles\u2019 album Revolver<\/em> (which not a few fans consider their best) was released in 1966, and a new modern remix, done by George Martin\u2019s son Giles Martin, was released on 28 October 2022.\u00a0 Here is my track-by-track analysis: focusing on audio sound quality and placement of singers and instruments in the new remix, and on how it compares to the previous \u201cbest\u201d versions:
\n*
\n1. Taxman<\/em>: the 2009 stereo remaster was absurd: most guitar, most drums, and bass on one side, and vocals, some percussion, guitar solo (which many don\u2019t realize was performed by Paul), and some rhythm guitar on the other. The drums were particularly buried and unforgivably muffled. For these reasons, I think the best existing version before the \u201922 remix was the 2009 mono mix: which puts it all in the \u201cmiddle\u201d, but has its own deficiencies and is not by any means great audio quality. The \u201922 remix was released prior to the rest of the album on YouTube<\/em> on 9-7-22. It\u2019s vastly better, with drums, bass, and vocals in the middle, and rhythm guitar on the right (all sounding great).<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

My only criticism is that the left channel seems to oddly be almost unused, except for cowbells (!). Why couldn\u2019t (for example) the guitar solo be placed in the left channel: just as in the 2009 stereo remaster it was separated? It makes perfect sense to me. But at least its placed in the center and can be distinguished from the rhythm guitar, so this now becomes the best mix. That\u2019s the very sort of \u201cjammed together\u201d aspect that made the original stereo updated in the 2009 version less than ideal. I don\u2019t understand the reasoning there. If it could be separated in the original mix, it certainly could have been again in this remix, to make it even more<\/em> appealing and listenable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
*
\n2. Eleanor Rigby<\/em>: this track had already been well-served by two \u201cmodern\u201d-sounding and ear-pleasing stereo remixes: in 1999 on the Yellow Submarine<\/em> \u201csongtrack\u201d and in 2015 for the remixed \u201c1<\/em>\u201c: with the latter getting the nod because of the strings being out-of-sync in the 1999 remix (though it\u2019s so slight that one hardly notices it). The new mix didn\u2019t improve it all that much, since it was so good already, but it does seem to have a bit more vitality and energy and spaciousness, and the strings seem slightly more \u201cbiting\u201d and Psycho<\/em>-like menacing (which was intentional, I only recently learned) and clear.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
*
\n3. I\u2019m Only Sleeping<\/em>: this wonderful, \u201ccould only have been from 1966\u201d song from John wasn\u2019t too bad in 2009 stereo, but it had an obnoxious right channel-only lead vocal. Therefore, I have preferred the mono mix from 2014, which is more satisfying and gives the drums the punch they deserve. Martin gives it much more \u201cspaciousness\u201d and warmth and \u201cpresence\u201d with his studio magic, and the drums are just as punchy: whereas the mono sounds rather annoyingly tinny and \u201ctransistor radio-like\u201d in comparison. So this is a most welcome and great improvement.
\n*<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
4. Love You Too<\/em>: George\u2019s \u201cIndian\u201d song had also been provided with a perfectly satisfying remix on the 1999 Yellow Submarine<\/em> songtrack, and didn\u2019t need much work. The \u201922 mix sounds very similar, but I suspect that with repeated close listening, more details may \u201cemerge\u201d in the new version. I did<\/em> notice that the bass string sitar sound at the end is more vivid, and an improvement.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
*
\n5. Here, There, and Everywhere<\/em>: Paul\u2019s Beach Boys\u2019 Pet Sounds<\/em>-inspired song had been best in the 2009 stereo, which had nicely separated harmonies. But the new mix has the drums and guitar (as I fully expected) more discernible, accentuated, and incorporated into a better, fuller soundscape.<\/div>\n
*<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
6. Yellow Submarine<\/em>: it was very pleasantly remixed in 1999 on the Yellow Submarine<\/em> songtrack and almost as well in 2015 for the remixed \u201c1<\/em>\u201c: with the former being slightly superior, due to more spaciousness and \u201caudio fun\u201d during the \u201csea sound effects\u201d interlude. For some odd and inexplicable reason the \u201922 mix has significantly subdued (almost muffled) and less centered drums than the \u201999 remix, which is a real \u201cdealbreaker\u201d, so that the latter remains (by a big margin) my favored version.<\/div>\n
*<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
7. She Said She Said<\/em>: this song had a typical \u201cearly rock stereo\u201d annoying mix of guitars all on the right and a frustratingly muffled and wimpy drums on the left in the 2009 stereo remaster, so that the 2009 mono has been my preferred mix (mainly because I always want to hear drums as they ought to be heard in a rock song). Giles Martin has satisfyingly fixed these basic errors, with marvelous centered drums (it\u2019s a great Ringo performance, similar to Rain<\/em>: his own favorite drumming). and it\u2019s now a wonderful complex, nuanced, \u201cmodern\u201d soundscape that can\u00a0 appeal to and please our ears in 2022 in a purely auditory sense.
\n*<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
8. Good Day Sunshine<\/em>: the 2009 stereo was highly separated and a bit \u201cwimpy\u201d: though not particularly annoying, as some other 2009 stereo Revolver<\/em> cuts were. Nevertheless, it has now been improved a lot by being given the same sort of treatment heard in several songs above: a fuller and more nuanced and warm overall soundscape.
\n*<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
9. And Your Bird Can Sing<\/em>: the 2009 stereo had a right-only vocal (that very few desire anymore) and anemic, \u201cwhy bother even having them?\u201d drums. Thus, I preferred the 2014 mono mix. Both deficiencies have been wonderfully rectified for a much better listening and marvelously \u201ctwangy\u201d experience. The drums (though rather basic in this song), are as powerful as they should be. This delightful, \u201cquintessentially Lennon\u201d song richly deserved and will benefit from such an overhaul.<\/div>\n
*<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
10. For No One<\/em>: the previous best 2009 stereo suffered from no left channel at all in the beginning for about 20 seconds, and a tinny, very inadequate-sounding clavichord and piano on the right channel only (played by Paul), which has been vastly and thankfully improved. The French horn (now more centered) is from the renowned English classical musician Alan Civil.<\/div>\n
*<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
11. Doctor Robert<\/em>: the 2009 stereo was decent, but still objectionably had the dreaded right-only lead vocal. My previously preferred mono mix from 2014 has slightly punchier drums than the new mix and a very satisfying mono soundscape, but the big improvement in the \u201922 mix is in the vocals, which are considerably better-sounding and more in balance. The separation of the guitars is also superior to the mono listening experience and more true-to-life.
\n*<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
12. I Want to Tell You<\/em>: George\u2019s song is similar in \u201cformat\u201d to #11, and able to be improved in the same manner. I\u2019ve preferred the 2009 mono. It\u2019s never been one of my favorites. McCartney\u2019s repetitious and \u201cmindless\u201d piano annoys me to no end. It\u2019s a little softer in the \u201922 mix. The vocals are much better and the drums are crisp and sharp (the way they always ideally should have been).
\n*<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
13. Got to Get You Into My Life<\/em>: the 2009 stereo was fair enough, but the drums were again too soft (though not as badly as in some of these songs), and the right channel-only trumpets sounded like they were coming out of a toy record player or lousy transistor radio from 1966. The 2009 mono only slightly improved both problems, so there was no good or sufficient choice, until now. Now the whole thing (especially the horns) sounds much better and catchier, like the \u201cwhite soul\u201d that it is, by modifying the overall balance in the usual \u201cmodern\u201d fashion.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
*
\n14. Tomorrow Never Knows<\/em>: this wonderful Lennon song that virtually began the psychedelic craze, was one of the better-sounding stereo cuts in its 2009 remastering, but the sound effects in particular needed to be made more clear and distinct. Martin has made it more \u201cfun\u201d and interesting to listen to, with the current state-of-the-art studio \u201ctrickery\u201d and pure sound capabilities. The sound effects are better, and some of the drums can be heard separately, with a better echo. This trend-setting and influential song now sounds full and glorious and more clear: like today\u2019s superior sound.<\/div>\n
*<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
15. Paperback Writer<\/em>: this is from the same period, and included in the new set. It was given a satisfying, much-improved and \u201crocking\u201d remix in 2015 on the revised \u201c1<\/em>.\u201d But in the new mix, both the bass and vocals seem a bit more clear and distinct, which makes it more satisfying overall.
\n*
\n16. Rain<\/em>: I love this \u201ctrippy\u201d and unique song in the Beatles\u2019 catalogue (B-side to Paperback Writer<\/em>). The formerly best 2009 stereo suffered from an obnoxious left-only lead vocal and not-very-clear harmony vocals on the right. Both are thankfully corrected, as fully expected, and the marvelous drum performance sounds better and no longer muffled. The wonderfully jangly, Byrds-like sound of the guitars and the bass are also improved and more distinct.\u00a0 Ringo\u2019s masterpiece now has an audio quality to match the excellent-as-always musicianship.
\n*
\nConclusion<\/em>: the entire album has been significantly improved and is a joy to hear for any Beatles fan. The only dud is Yellow Submarine<\/em>. But we have the existing 1999 remix to make up for that deficiency.

Formerly a campus missionary, as a Protestant, Dave was received into the Catholic Church in February 1991, by the late, well-known catechist and theologian, Fr. John A. Hardon, S. J. Dave\u2019s articles have appeared in many influential Catholic periodicals, including \"This Rock\" (now called \"Catholic Answers Magazine\"), \"Envoy Magazine\" (Patrick Madrid), \"The Catholic Answer,\" \"The Coming Home Journal,\" \"Gilbert Magazine\" (American Chesterton Society), and \"The Latin Mass.\" He also writes a featured column for every issue of \"The Michigan Catholic\": published by the archdiocese of Detroit, and was editor for most of the apologetics tracts published by the St. Paul Street Evangelization apostolate. Dave\u2019s apologetics and writing apostolate was the subject of a feature article in the May 2002 issue of \"Envoy Magazine.\" He served as the staff moderator at the Internet discussion forum for The Coming Home Network, from 2007-2010. Dave has been interviewed on many nationally syndicated Catholic radio shows, including \"Catholic Answers Live\" (twice), \"Faith and Family Live\" (Steve Wood), \"Kresta in the Afternoon,\" \"Son Rise Morning Show,\" \"Catholic Connection\" (Teresa Tomeo), and \"The Catholics Next Door.\" His large and popular website, \"Biblical Evidence for Catholicism,\" was online from March 1997 to March 2007, and received the 1998 Catholic Website of the Year award from \"Envoy Magazine.\" His blog of the same name (now transferred to Patheos), begun in February 2004, contains more than 1,500 papers, at least 500 debates or dialogues, and over 50 distinct \"index\" web pages. Unsolicited correspondence has indicated many hundreds of conversions (or returns) to the Catholic faith as a result, by God's grace, of these writings. Dave's conversion story was published in the bestselling book \"Surprised by Truth\" (edited by Patrick Madrid; San Diego: Basilica Press, 1994). Sophia Institute Press has published six of his books: \"A Biblical Defense of Catholicism\" (Foreword by Fr. John A. Hardon, S. J., 1996 \/ 2003), \"The Catholic Verses\" (2004), \"The One-Minute Apologist\" (2007), \"Bible Proofs for Catholic Truths\" (2009), \"The Quotable Newman\" (editor: 2012), and \"Proving the Catholic Faith is Biblical\" (2015). He is co-author (with Dr. Paul Thigpen) of the inserts for \"The New Catholic Answer Bible\" (Our Sunday Visitor: 2005), and editor for \"The Wisdom of Mr. Chesterton: The Very Best Quotes, Quips, and Cracks from the Pen of G. K. Chesterton\" (Saint Benedict Press \/ TAN Books: 2009). \"100 Biblical Arguments Against Sola Scriptura\" was published by Catholic Answers in May 2012. His \"Quotable Wesley\" compilation was published by (Protestant \/ Wesleyan publisher) Beacon Hill Press in April 2014. Several of his 49 books are bestsellers in their field. Dave maintains a popular personal Facebook page, a Facebook author page, and has a Twitter account as well. He offers almost all of his books in e-book form on his own Biblical Catholicism site (http:\/\/biblicalcatholicism.com\/), at a permanent deep discount: only $2.99 for ePub, mobi, and AZW, and $1.99 for PDF. His writing has been enthusiastically endorsed or recommended by many leading Catholic apologists, authors, and priests, including Dr. Scott Hahn, Fr. Peter M. J. Stravinskas, Marcus Grodi, Patrick Madrid, Steve Ray, Tim Staples, Devin Rose, Mike Aquilina, Al Kresta, Karl Keating, Fr. Dwight Longenecker, Brandon Vogt, Marcellino D'Ambrosio, and Fr. John A. Hardon, S. J. Dave has been happily married to his wife Judy since October 1984. They have three sons and a daughter, and reside in southeast Michigan (metro Detroit).","sameAs":["https:\/\/biblicalcatholicism.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dave.armstrong.798","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@LuxVeritatisApologetics"],"url":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davearmstrong\/author\/davearmstrong"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davearmstrong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davearmstrong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davearmstrong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davearmstrong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2331"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davearmstrong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davearmstrong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davearmstrong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davearmstrong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davearmstrong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davearmstrong\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
