Beatles, la special edition di Revolver: tutti i dettagli
Come abbiamo anticipato qualche giorno fa, è di prossima uscita - il 28 ottobre - la special edition remixata e ampliata di "Revolver", l'album dei Beatles pubblicato originariamente il 5 agosto del 1966. La nuova edizione speciale di "Revolver" segue le edizioni speciali remixate e ampliate di "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (2017), "The Beatles" (‘White Album’) (2018), "Abbey Road" (2019) e "Let It Be" (2021).
Universal Music ha confermato l'anticipazione con un dettagliato comunicato stampa, il primo trailer ufficiale:
e lo streaming del remix di "Taxman":
Le 14 tracce di Revolver sono state mixate in stereo e Dolby Atmos con un meticoloso restauro sonoro del produttore Giles Martin e del sound engineer Sam Okell. Il mix mono originale dell'album è tratto dal suo master tape mono del 1966.
Tutte le nuove versioni di Revolver contengono il nuovo mix stereo dell'album, proveniente direttamente dai master tape originali a quattro tracce. L'audio è riprodotto con l'aiuto della tecnologia di de-mixing sviluppata dal team del suono guidato da Emile de la Rey presso la WingNut Films Productions Ltd di Peter Jackson. Le versioni Super Deluxe fisiche e digitali contengono anche il mix mono originale dell'album, 28 prime take dalle sessioni e tre home demos, e un EP di quattro tracce con nuovi mix stereo e mix mono originali rimasterizzati di Paperback Writer” e “Rain”. Il nuovo mix Dolby Atmos dell'album sarà pubblicato in digitale.
Ecco le caratteristiche di tutte le versioni.
