    I meant JUST the video. Not the CD.

    That's something I learnt from this thread and I agree that it's really neat.

    I also learnt here that the studio photo on the back cover of both sessions CDs is different to the regular photo. I hadn't noticed that.

    It's also nice to have the Robert Freeman artwork used on the sessions CDs, though I'm pleased it wasn't used for the original album. It gives me a bit of a headache !

    Ah, I see! Yes, that would have been the best solution!

    I also noticed the connection to If I Needed Someone.

    And my feeling was that they didn't want the new album to sound anything like their last album, so they decided to drop the 'aaahs'.

    I have always felt that 'If I Needed Someone' was the Rubber Soul song that feels the most like a Revolver track - I can easily imagine it slotted onto the album.

    I actually hear it fitting very nicely on Help!

    It definitely belongs on “Yesterday and Today.”

    I know the Revolver font came up earlier in the thread but don’t remember anything definitive: is the box set font for the album title the same as in 1966?

    It’s slightly thicker on the boxed set. Andrew from Parlogram made it a point to specify this. What a guy!!

    Is the font changed for any other Beatles box set?

    Yes. The new font used on the cover of the “Let It Be” set isn’t what was originally used. Looks like they selected a royalty-free font that kinda comes sorta close to the original ….

    Interesting. The font changes bother me a lot more than anything Giles tweaked with the tracks. In fact, it’s not even close.

    Why aren’t the originals used? Can someone in design explain?

    Nothing belongs on Yesterday and Today, but it's still an enjoyable album. :)

    It's pretty close to the font on the back of the original album cover.

    The same thing happened with the back of the 1987 CD.

    All the more frustrating because Let It Be appears to use the same font as Paul's Tug of War and they didn't have font problems with that one.

    Question....

    I already have the following Revolver releases on vinyl....
    1. First UK Pressing Stereo
    2. 2012 Stereo Re-issue
    3. 2014 Mono Re-Issue
    4. Anthology 2 on Vinyl - Which has a whole side of Revolver Alternate Takes

    Is there any really compelling reason to pick up this box set ?

    It's actually my favorite of the SDE's so far. And I didn't buy it because of no 5.1. (I did buy the others). I overall like the new stereo mix (give it a B+) and the outtakes are a joy to listen to as well. So I ended up streaming this one, as that is what Apple wanted. I've only listened to the mix thru speakers at this point....my only listen thru headphones was to Taxman...and I'm not sure I like the displacement on George's vocal....but haven't given it proper listening yet thru phones...so I have no opinion yet for that route. But was happy with speaker listening.

    Firstly it’s (arguably) a well done stereo remix. Secondly, far as outtakes, Anthology has next to nothing compared to what’s in this set. I’m not trying to sell you on it…different strokes and all that. I’m just sayin’. Oh, and the mono vinyl pressing outdoes the 2014 in terms of clarity.

    Maybe for the 2022 remix, the additional outtakes and the book? Considering you already have more than two copies of Revolver, you're in a different category than the casual music buyer. Vegas odds says you're gonna pick this one up. :D

    It depends what you want. Some folks here (myself included) really like the new mix. Others find it irredeemably flawed. And if you like the outtakes on Anthology 2 then the super deluxe set has literally dozens more. But not everyone is into outtakes, so if that's not your bag then I can see not wanting to pay a lot of money for more of something you don't like.

    I would say it all depends on what you find compelling - those don't, for example, have the recent remix that was done by Giles with the de-mixing tech which offers a fairly unique stereo mix experience that is very fun to me. Plus the many alternate takes that are not on Anthology 2, so I would say it just depends on what you personally may want as you peruse the tracklist of this deluxe set (and you can also preview everything via Youtube if you are on the fence)

    “If you’ve ever wondered what John mutters when Paul sings the line, “She feels good,” Howlett says he and Heatley had a good listen. “He says, ‘She do.’” John was apparently sitting beside his bandmate during that session, initiating a slight chuckle from Paul, as heard on the record.”


    I've just come across an interesting debate from earlier in the thread concerning this quote.

    The song in question is Good Day Sunshine.

    Whatever John mutters, it seems to be more than two syllables. In my case I'd say a hammy "She do, she do." which is why Paul is amused.

    Once again I don't find Howlett's version very convincing.

    The vocal track isolation reveals that John just repeats Paul's words: she feels good.

    I enjoy Howlett’s writings and historical coverage of their music but I often find myself questioning his “nuance” findings.
