Beatles Officially Announce Revolver Special Editions

The Beatles, Apple, and Universal Music have officially announced the details of the upcoming Revolver Special Editions, due for release on October 28, 2022.

Just like the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles, Abbey Road, and Let It Be reissues, the release will be offered in multiple configurations.

The remixed album utilizes new technology created by Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films to remix instrumental tracks that were “bounced down” or reduced with other tracks due to the limitations of the 4-track tapes.

The Revolver album’s 14 tracks have been newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell in stereo and Dolby Atmos, and the album’s original mono mix is sourced from its 1966 mono master tape. Revolver’s sweeping new Special Edition follows the universally acclaimed remixed and expanded Special Editions of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (2017), The BEATLES (‘White Album’) (2018), Abbey Road (2019), and Let It Be (2021).

All the new Revolver releases feature the album’s new stereo mix, sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes. The audio is brought forth in stunning clarity with the help of cutting edge de-mixing technology developed by the award-winning sound team led by Emile de la Rey at Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films Productions Ltd. The physical and digital Super Deluxe collections also feature the album’s original mono mix, 28 early takes from the sessions and three home demos, and a four-track EP with new stereo mixes and remastered original mono mixes for “Paperback Writer” and “Rain”. The album’s new Dolby Atmos mix will be released digitally.

Notably, the release does not include a BluRay disc of high definition audio as has been included in each of the previous super deluxe editions. An Atmos remix will be available but not int he physical release.
