‘Revolver’ Confirmed as Next Beatles Album to Get Deluxe Treatment and Remix

The Beatles' 1966 'Revolver' is set to be the next album of the band's to get a deluxe boxed set with a Giles Martin remix and studio outtakes.

It does say official announcement coming in September, which is when the next 3-month ROTM list comes out. I could see VMP trying very hard to keep this under wraps until they can announce it.

Ha, while it could be complete coincidence, based on the first set of clues I wouldn't say that is "keeping it under wraps".

Could've just gone with the 1966 clue, but dropping the "B" clue as well - and again, assuming this is what's happening - reeks of a child with a secret they absolutely cannot WAIT to spill.

I would be very interested to see what color it would be, considering the entire cover is black and white lol

Cow print.

Coke bottle green?

I do not own Revolver. So I'd be down for this for sure. Would be a major "wow" moment for VMP too. And for what it's worth, dropping this release in December (as it seems the '66 release is) would be a very good way to get those three month subs locked in.

I somehow don't have this either and would be so down for it.

You're all high it's not going to be The Beatles.

IF they were to do it. Still a big IF:
I wonder if they'd do a 2LP coloured release to coincide with a boxed set, for those that don't want to drop surely $75-$200 on a 4+ LP release (I'm assuming here they'll do multiple versions of the box set).

If so, I'm going to give them massive props for the balls it took to pull it off.

I am generally less excited about this because it would probably just be a colour version of the standard black that would be available everywhere.

I think you are probably right. But if they can get Queen then it is not out of the realm of possibilities

H.

But also the fact that I have now in no uncertain terms stated the absolute impossibility of VMP getting a Beatles title... IT'S TOTALLY GUNNA BE REVOLVER BOOK IIIIIIT

Yeah, I agree probably right - it's just a super weird coincidence that they're announcing reissues of 1966's the Beatles Revolver in the same month as VMP is announcing a 1966 rock album with a group/artist starting with "B".

 

[bdrummond]

And listen, I'm not saying I'm creating a list of names to laugh at on the minuscule chance it could be that....but I'm writing something down and it's for you to guess what that is.

Wrong. It's actually two circles together with a towering line coming out of the middle with the letters MAT on one circle, and HER on the other.

I'M THE BIG WINNER
Oh gosh there's so many people I need to thank, I should have written something down...

@Hermat will be crushed!

Still, I would say demon days or the Fionas or even that stooges album in a previously unreleased mix were bigger gets for vmp than revolver would be. Sure you're not getting any bigger and more essential than the Beatles but chances are high what you would be getting is a colour variant of a remaster that is widely available in black for cheaper everywhere else.

 

[NewsFedora]

Ah, thanks and sorry about the hex on your name.

Edit: 1966 is The Beatles - Revolver right?
