The most significant innovation was Artificial Double Tracking (ADT), which was invented by Ken Townsend, a recording engineer at Abbey Road Studios. The technique essentially combines an original audio signal with a delayed copy of that signal.
On Revolver, The Beatles started experimenting with various new recording techniques, including tape loops, backwards recordings and varispeeding. So I decided to take a closer look on this mold-breaking album. Yesterday, I noticed a number of related articles from music sources like Rolling Stone and others commemorating the occasion. On Aug 5, 1966, The Beatles released Revolver, their seventh studio album in the UK. Just the other day, a good friend of mine told me many experts consider it the best album of the Fab Four.
It was 50 years ago yesterday (Aug 5): The Beatles released Revolver in the UK, an album that is considered a leap from predecessor Rubber Soul, introducing more experimentation and innovative recording techniques. Unlike previous Musings of the Past installments, which essentially were straight reposts, I decided to enhance the Revolver post with both multi-media and some additional text at the end. While my writing was also still evolving, I felt the content of this early post deserved to be republished. The blog was very bare-bones at the time with no embedded images or video clips in the posts. I was about six weeks into my blogging journey.
This reminded me of a post I originally published in August 2016 about the then-50th anniversary of what is widely considered one of the best albums by The Beatles. The other day, fellow blogger Max from PowerPop blog featured I Want to Tell You, a George Harrison tune from Revolver, rightfully noting the great opening riff and calling it very unrated.
