Significant longplayers from yesteryear

5 August 2026

THE BEATLES released their masterwork REVOLVER ,
their 6th LP, on 5 August 1966, today 60 years ago.

The sublime longplayer is regarded as one of the greatest and most innovative albums ever, with recognition centred on its range of musical styles, diverse sounds and lyrical content. It marked the group’s most overt use of studio technology to date.

Iconic artwork by Klaus Voorman.

Charts: #1 in the UK, USA, Australia,
and several European countries.

Pitchfork wrote in retrospect: “As they devoted more time to the studio, the Beatles’ individual voices and confidence continued to grow. In the end it’s the sound of a band
growing into supreme confidence.

The Beatles had been transformed into a group not beholden to the expectations of
their label or bosses, but fully calling the shots, recording at their own pace, releasing
records at a less-demanding clip, abandoning the showmanship of live performance.”

Turn Up The Volume: Every chord, every melody, every vocal/harmony,
every beat, every riff, every lick, every hook is just spot-on. Best band ever
in my book.
