Revolver

The Beatles

The group started using reversed solos, tape manipulations, and instruments from India to expand the scope of pop. This record turned the band into a studio-focused unit that altered how music was recorded.

Released in 1966, the material shows an interest in Eastern philosophy and psychedelic ideas. The production creates a thick, intimate, and wide-reaching atmosphere that helped define the coming age of experimental rock.
