ALBUM OF THE MONTH

Album # 54 is Revolver - The Beatles

Yet another 40 years celebration ladies and gentlemen! (Some of you might have noticed that we celebrated the 40th anniversary of Freak Out! by Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention during July.)
Here is another 40 year anniversary album...yet another rock classic!

14 songs. All of them matching the standard length of a pop song, but they were not just "pop songs". Revolver showcases The Beatles' capability to write excellent songs and their ambition to experiment and break new ground.

Eleanor Rigby may be the best example of both: Never before had someone used a string octet like this in a pop song.
Not a weak spot anywhere on the album and this piece of wonderment comes wrapped up in a neat drawing by Klaus Voorman, a friend from the time when The Fab Four used to play german clubs.
