The Beatles have announced details of the long-awaited Special Edition box set reissue of their classic 1966 album Revolver.
The album is available in several configurations, including standalone vinyl, picture disc, CD, and expanded CD and CD/vinyl sets. The Special Edition tracks have been remixed by producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell in stereo and Dolby Atmos, aided by de-mixing technology developed by Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films Productions Ltd.
The physical and digital Super Deluxe collections feature the album’s original mono mix – sourced from the 1966 mono master tape – plus 28 early takes from the sessions and three home demos. A four-track EP with new stereo mixes and remastered original mono mixes of Paperback Writer and Rain completes the package, while a 2022 mix of Taxman has already been released, alongside a trailer for the Special Edition. Full tracklist below.
Most impressively, the Super Deluxe version of the Revolver reissue includes five CDs (stereo & mono audio) or four LPs plus a 7-inch EP (stereo & mono audio) on half-speed mastered 180-gram vinyl. Both versions comes with a 100-page hardbound book.
The Beatles' Special Edition reissue of Revolver is available to pre-order.
