The Beatles

The Beatles


Prior the revolver album the Beatles were know worldwide, for all their hits and Huge touring concerts.
They were, know for their lyrics and style. They conquered the rock pop music in England and the world. They were John Lennon (Guitars, vocals) Paul McCartney ( Bass, Vocals)  Ringo Star ( Drums, Vocals) George Harrison ( Acoustic Guitar, Vocals )

Revolver album was difference to the other Beatles album's. this album was psychedelic in all the aspects. in the sounds in the way the inspire and some of the instruments and techniques they used for this album. one's of the ways they inspire for this album was the fact of using marihuana before and after records their tracks. But one of the most, Influence of the album was the book called: Psychedelic Experience (A book bases on the Tibetan Book of the dead
) (Tomorrow never knows) they were inspire in the scriptures of this album for they lyrics

The way the Beatles used the studio like a instruments refers they used a lot of effects and techniques to create this sounds of the Revolver album. sound like Double tracking John Lennon vocals, Compressors, they used a lot of reverse to create the psychedelic sounds. didn't stop them to create this sound knowing they could not do that sounds in live. they start creating new sounds for everywhere using open hit hats and insert a reverse so that gave them other type of sound. 

One of the two innovations of the Beatles in this Album was the technique of the Reverse they used in a lot of the instruments, like the hit hats, vocals, etc. Another innovation they used was the Leslie speaker John Lennon used for his psychedelic vocals. other technique they used was the Automatic Double Tracking to give more power for the lead vocal, this was the fast way the engineer can make his vocals louder.

This album was little bit difference of what they normally do before. But for me sounds pretty good for that time, the mix and the production is really good. I like how they innovate techniques and sounds for this album so that for me is something to admire.
